Slowly but surely I'm getting involved in film. I've always been interested but never pursued it, mostly due to an underlying lack of self-confidence and partly due to a small handful of "friends" who'd convinced me early on that pursuing filmmaking was an impossibility for a variety of reasons, but the interest never waned. After a time I stopped mentioning my desire to make films to others and expressed the interest in terms of movie-watching only. Then a few years back a series of seemingly unrelated events (or whatever you want to call it) led me back on the path, and it's only recently that I've been able to say out loud again that I want to make movies, that I'm interested in film .. in every aspect of the filmmaking process since I really don't know anywhere near as much as I'd like to.
At this moment in time, I'm helping a friend with research and whatever else she needs as she gathers the players for her first film out of film school. The help I give is all long-distance, but I'm thrilled to have this opportunity. Despite my lack of experience she's kept me involved along the way.
I'm sure there must be others like me out there so I plan to share any insights I gain or simply random film-related thoughts. :)
