Resources For the Indie Film-maker

“Even Scorsese had to start somewhere…imagine how good he’d be if he’d started here.”

I have created a site that I wish was around when I first started out as an aspiring film-maker. I don’t know about you but for me it was instantaneous. One minute I was struggling to find a reason why I’d chosen a computer science degree. The next I was picking up a video camera and making films. Maybe it was the geek in me who was fascinated by the technological gizmos required in todays indie film-making. Or the ego in me who thought about the fame, followed by the money and then the…. well you get the drift.
Of course the latter is highly unlikely to happen to most indies. Is it unlikely for me? That’s for me to decide but I know that once you drop that expectation, it becomes a lot easier for ideas to flow, and for things to get done. There is no doubt about it; you’ve chosen a path that is too steep for the procrastinator and too long for the ego tripper but perfect for the dedicated story teller.
Here you will find links to other resources around the net which I have gathered throughout the years. “Resources?” you say. Well unless you’re the incarnate of Kubrick or Hitchcock, every film-maker has to learn their craft at some stage. Not only learn it but master it to rise above the rest. I myself am no where near that level but hopefully we can reach for it while giving each other a boost along the way.
Keep in mind that there’s not much here yet, but it has only just begun…
