My passion are ancient/medieval movies (sometimes Greek mythological), and World War II movies. I think World War II movies require immense skill to master because of the coloring. If you ever notice in Saving Private Ryan, whenever a major fight/battle is about to come up, the colors are all dull, and the characters' faces are all pale. It was excellently done.

And another film I admire is Gladiator. It was made soo well.

So independent filmmakers make a movie of their choice, with their own budgets and guidelines, and then later try and sell that movie?

And the other filmmakers are hired to make a movie from the beginning with a budget, etc..?

Hey all.

I was wondering what the difference between an independent filmmaker and a.. well... normal one is.

Thanks,

Hello all.

My dream is to become a director, yet I have been getting scared of late because I've heard it is hard to become one. I am worried that as being a director, I will be unable to support myself until I make it big. How hard is it to become a known director such as Ridley Scott, Steven Spieldberg, and / or Peter Jackson?

What are your goals and how do you feal about them?

Thanks for your support.
