I have friends who want to make films but don't, because they're waiting for somebody to come along and give them a film deal. It isn't going to happen that way. Do what you need to do. If you've got a video camera, make a video film. If you've got a Super-8 camera, make a Super-8 film. If you don't have a camera, take a pencil and a piece of paper and write a script. Do whatever you have to do to make it work. Sooner or later, you'll get your shot.
