You are one lucky reader, because if our demographic studies are correct, chances are excellent that you are now, or soon will be, making a movie. You're lucky because the hard evidence outweighs the hype when I tell you that there has never been a better time to start making your movie than right now.
New options are available that bring more industry gates crashing down with each passing month.
I am in complete agreement with those who claim that never before have so many considered motion pictures both a viable means of personal expression and a valid way to earn a living. The technical revolution is making it easier to make movies-so there will be more movies made, and more and more people will go to film schools to learn the basics. Whether you're a new moviemaker poised to take advantage of digital technologies or a working professional with long-honed traditional skills, what you need now is an edge. You need to continue learning to stay competetive. You lucky devil, you.
