A Journey to L.A

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m going to be referring to a blog post that I read the past week and it was pretty interesting since, the person is talking about his experience getting into the film industry which was I’m aiming to do in the future if the opportunity comes. He compares us (newbies) that we are passionate about this industry and how bad we want something like with the “Terminator” movie, when Schwarzenegger is naked walking by the street of L.A.  I think is amazing comparison, since we are really naked without the clothing “desire for job” he says.

Is completely true, most of filmmakers students they travel to L.A and all is because that where Hollywood is and where our dream can become possible faster.  He talks about everything really starts with been a PA(Production Assistant) and how nobody wants to be in this business and be 40 and still a PA, which is funny because in every business is the same. The young people are the ones that are the minor position most of the time and you wouldn’t want to be 40 and still there.

I love this blog post so much that seriously, I needed to discuss it here, since is really helpful and I really think it sounds how making in it in the business will be. “So beware, all you newbies entering this bright and shiny labyrinth -- here there be dragons and hippogriffs, and things are not always as they seem...” he says at the end of his post, which for me is what I always thought about it and I know is not a easy business to make it. But as Rogene Manas, I’m determined like him to make it someday and I know never is too late and better to give up trying than not trying at all.

Thanks for reading,

How to make possible the impossible...

Hello Everyone,


Today I'm going to be talking about a guy, who really inspire me as soon I watched him talking and is not what he said is also how he projected himself made me just think he was amazing. Martin Villeneuve just really speak by his work and no his words, in this video he explains how he made this movie that everybody thought it was impossible to make without the amount of money he had. This guys inspires me, because he talks about three things that he says are more important than money when you don't have it to make your dreams successful. He says "when you don't have money, you use time" and what's more important after money? is time, of course, because if you don't have time to make things possible use time which is your next ally. He took 7 years to make this movie possible. The next step is love, he says that you need to use love to reach to those who you will need but you don't have money to pay. Something that I think all the same, most of the time we don't do stuff for money, as workers in the entertainment business we just do this for love, is something that we love working on and yes we get paid, because without money(food, bills, etc) you can't live or survive. At the same time, when you work in something that you love it needs to be at the point that will love it so much that you can do it anytime and for free too. The third and last step he says that you need to "constraint can boost creativity" and here is how he explains that used this to get some of the most amazing inspiration for  him as a filmmaker to get his movie become a reality and most of the stuff he needed as well, he got  them by letting creativity and imagination take reigns of him and his project. I think guys like Martin needs to go around the world and talk to young filmmakers, because his movie is amazing and how he made it possible more amazing than that!
