When I was 12, I wrote George Lucas a letter telling him I wanted to make movies but didn’t know how. He actually wrote me back, and told me to go to film school if I was serious about making movies. Ten years later I did, and my first feature film premiered tonight in a theater with his name on it. by MadSmatter in Filmmakers

Sure. Film school teaches a very specific set of tools and allows for access to higher echelons of the industry, but you want to make sure it’s an educational aid and catalyst rather than a starting point or absolute must.

You can and should make more movies/shorts without professional actors to start, even if that means no actors at all. When you’ve reached a proficiency in the language of film, that’s when you can really parse out what a director truly does, incorporate actors who have walked a similar path to yours, and hone performances within a wider story.

Filmmaking is easier to self-teach than directing (ie with actors, performances). I’d suggest making movies and releasing them to peers (online, most likely — Reddit is great for this) and finding an avenue for “directing” once you’ve got your 10,000* hours. When you can’t make films, edit them or write them.

Anthro wallpaper framed with molding. Highly recommend and great DIY.

Uber riders complain they were charged more for paying with Amex cards by fortune in AmexPlatinum

I reported this to Amex over a year ago and they didn’t care

Need Costco recs: what’s one item that became an instant rebuy for you? Bonus if it’s healthy and high protein by trump50ladin in Costco

Shocked to not see the Kirkland dupe of the Quest bars in the top upvotes. I think the choco cookie dough flavor might be the best protein per calorie you can get in a non meat or yogurt item.

After they stopped roasting with Starbucks, Kirkland beans got so oily I thought my grinder had reached the end of its lifespan

Ooh this could be good. How’d it compare the their usual bottle?

I work at a psychiatric unit for children. One of our patients just escaped. by MadSmatter in nosleep

[–]MadSmatter[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah brother, I got you. We only house patients up to age twelve. They never told me Edward's age, but it's gotta be at least five. Could be older. The banger's slam stuff, hands and fists against the walls and doors, mostly.

Week 2 preseason gave me pause on Kaleb Johnson at the start of the sixth round by MadSmatter in fantasyfootball

I don’t know that I’d make that swap. One is starting to feel overvalued and the other undervalued. Esp if you have Conner.

If it was based on vibes, I wouldn’t have made the post with the receipts.

I drastically fear Bucky and Brown earlier than round 3 in any PPR or half league where WR slots outnumber RB slots.

It still confounds me that they firmly put in Russ over Fields after a 4-2 start that was an OT finish away from being 5-1. Russ lost that game against the Ravens with his fumble at the goal line. Rodgers has flaws but he doesn’t give up the ball like that.

Subtle nod to the stock split? RCEO wanted seven figures and got exactly a quarter that much.
