This was some amazing information! It truly was. If you've been in this industry, long enough, 21 years for me, then you can easily relate to and attest to all the truth, and lies, and lottery system that AJ speaks of. It wasn't only a great reminder of a truth that I've already known and discovered, but it was also some great strategic steps to get you there with what you have now. And that is something that not too many film schools or experiences and relationships with others in the film industry are going to tell you about. And most of the times, it's because they don't know or realize it either. They've just follow the stereotypical path that we all assume is good for us, but truly isn't.

My biggest Takeaways 1. If you want to make a marvel movie, don’t try to make a marvel movie with a indie budget. Instead, make a good character driven story that will lead to your next film and then next film until you make the marvel movie. 2. Show up and commit to a body of work. Be willing to look stupid, Be willing to fail. 3. You can’t just make any film 4. You can’t go try and be a carbon copy 5. Your career path needs to be infused with your own DNA 6. Films aren’t limited by gear, they’re limited by creativity. 7. Films comprise of Picture, Sound, Story and Performance My biggest concern/challenge is getting past the hurdle of getting people to work on something without paying them. But I do like the way you worded the way to approach them in a way.

Yes, I will use this strategy. Roadblocks 1. Money right now is one major roadblock. What's the term that the industry has taken, I find myself now having to find a viable side job to sustain more of my living than usual. 2. Time is a bit of a rooadblock Though I can manipulate it to do what I need to do. • 3. And the last one would be finding a good story to start with.
