Being a Director

"...how anyone can become a director without learning the craft of cinematography."
~Nicolas Roeg

This quote is huge in my desires for filmmaking. In fact, it was this thought that caused me to buy a Canon HV30 and do some cinematography work myself. As much as I love directing, being behind a camera is very exhilirating, challenging, and creative energy driving.
After buying the Canon HV30, I have done 4 music videos and 6 short films (which is a feature film I wrote called, THINGS FALL APART).

Lately I have been witnessing the smoke-up-the-ass trick. What I mean by that is I have talked other "wanna-be" filmmakers and they get all geeked up to work with me, and then they meet a whiteboy filmmaker, and they decide to roll with his skills and not mine.
Now, I'm not going to make this a racial thing, cause for me its not, what I will do is let all these "green" filmmakers know...
Everything is Legenderi!
