I truly don't know or understand how difficult it is. I am completely a beginner. I have been interested in photography and film my whole life I just never really explored the opportunity to take part of it. I always focused on my writing. Recently my fascination for cinematography and photography have peaked. I am determined to learn and start practicing. I truly believe in my vision.

Haha I didn't mean to come off as arrogant or harsh in my words but I think that's how you may have taken it. It has nothing to do with credit. My stories are very personal to me and I really feel the best way to bring these stories to life visually is on my own. Of course I hope to work with creative actors but I would hope the actors respect my material and my vision also.

I want full creative control over the project and I don't want to be in a position where I may clash wits with another creative person. I know it will be difficult, but I am very determined. My scripts are my passion and I want to give them the best treatment possible. I am hoping that people who care about the subject matter of my planned debut will help me crowdfund and bring my script to the screen. If that doesn't work I'll have to work harder.

Hello everyone! I am new to this site but have spent some time reading through the forums and I can tell there are many knowledgeable people here. I must admit, I have no camera experience whatsoever. I write all the time but in terms of directing or dp work I have no experience at all. I'm confident in my vision and truly believe I can do great things in those aforementioned fields but first I have to learn the technical aspects of being a director and a dp of course. I have been saving up to take a course but I was wondering if there are any tutorials online? Or books? My main interest is learning how to operate a 35mm camera and how to shoot on film rather than digital. Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
