Being honest about your motives is the first step toward a successful film, and it’s a healthy habit for anyone entering a new life-consuming project; starting a new company, getting married, or in this case, shooting a film.
Do you want your film to change the world? Do you want to make money so you can make your next film? Do you have something to prove to yourself? An honest answer in the early stages can do wonders for a filmmaker in finding a workable distribution path, uncovering a forthright story, and figuring out an appropriate amount of money and energy to expend on the project. (Please note: An answer like “I am creative and want to express myself” misses the scope. This is a reflective question for professionals or budding professionals who live in the reality of scarce resources and time who will express themselves creatively regardless of their path).
Human beings are motivated by different factors, but when I was only 19 years young, a drunk man who I was serving steak to explained to me that motivation could be broken down into the ‘4 Fs’.
I just realized this video got posted awhile ago.
Lucky you! I got this great offer on Facebook that I can extend to you dear reader:

A little high weirdness for your Saturday morning…

Thanks to the Disposable Film Festival for tipping this off to me.
Isn’t it about time that the majority of the films could claim that:
Many of my former assistants are ruling the film world now. I look forward to many more joining their ranks.
And I don’t throw things at them, ever!
