You have just crossed over into the Discomfort Zone. None of this comes naturally to me. What helps me push through the lonely, doubtful moments we sometimes face as filmmakers and often face as human beings is my belief in and passion for the story I'm telling. That it means something. That it teaches something.
Positive stories are cures for cancers of the spirit.
If that doesn't help me pick up the phone and step out of my discomfort zone, nothing will. You have to believe in what you're doing. It is your vision, your responsibility, your game to play. But if you push beyond your limits and keep the story close to your heart, it will also be your ultimate triumph. Don't forget to post your say on these matters in the Online Forum for First-Time Filmmaking .
