What's it all for?

[DeviousTom]

I was just curious. Everybody here is interested in filmmaking. What's your goals as far as filmmaking goes? Do you aspire to become a director? Do you just do it as a hobby? What are your ambitions?

Personally, I hope to do independent film as a side project mostly for fun while my main job is teaching.

[spicysmoke]

I want to be a full time filmmaker, focusing on the direction side of it but also writing and a bit of acting.

[HunnyBunchFilms]

My goal is to become a director as my full time occupation. I want to get my films seen by a mass audience. Whether it be theatrically, independently, or even virally. For the not so distant future I would like to work in production so I am able to fund my own work and get noticed.

[FyceDesigns]

I want to become an animator, with filmmaking as a side thing with my friends and future family.

[WesScog]

I want to be a writer-director. I've always loved telling stories, and creating, and filmmaking is a field that i've always been deeply interested in.

Cheap digital technologies will make most of what I want to do totally within reach, and new opportunities for independent film makers are being created every day.

Full time Writer/Director

[Ladri.]

I want to go to USC's Film school and major in screenwriting or directing. Haven't decided yet.

[cubes]

most of my career has been in the automotive business, and the idea of filmmaking started as an interest, has grown into an obsession (LOL!), and is right now a hobby, but I will approach it in a professional manner, maybe submit to some festivals, local screenings and see where it goes.

[next-tarantino]

Full-time editor, part-time director.

We'll see how that goes in a few months.

[sonnyfromda02]

I would like to become an actor. I'm only making short films now because I audition for short films a lot and am often told that I don't have the right look for their films. So I decided to cast myself in my own short films.

Is it a paying job? maine is pretty far...

[Zombeast]

I'll give you some money. It's really low budget. I could probably give you a place to stay too. It's a lot of work though. So you probably won't want to do all the stuff for not a lot of money.

[bridboyross]

i wanna be a director (who doesnt) I've got a two year film course starting in september at ealing studios, do that and i will be in the biz, not as a director but will be part of the film business.

[Zombeast]

I'd like to write but I suck at it (as many of you who have wasted your time reading my pointless drivel will agree with) so I'll most likely end up face down in a gutter.

[mrsiefer23]

i'd like to go to a film school in california and eventually make films for industry or independent maybe even over the internet like indy mogul =)

[Citrus]

I want to be a lot like in Robert Rodriguez in the sense that he does a lot of stuff himself (directing, camera, editing, writing, music, FX, and even acting). If that doesn't go well then I would like to be paid to watch movies like a critic or something. Then if I can't do that...ummm... I'll figure something out.

[New Spark Films]

Full time writer/director. It's just the career I've wanted for a long time.

[Zombeast]

So the majority of the people here want to live off of their art? Good luck.

[Shenanigans]

I would love to become a filmmaker, but I know that that is close to impossible for me. It makes me so sad...but I guess that for right now, it's just a hobby. Damn that sounds gay!
