Summary: 1. read books (fictional for inspiration + film books + industry magazines) 2. watch movies including classical ones 3. start an ideas journal 4. write short film scripts NOW 5. movie journal (name, director, rate it, what did you learn from it). or an excel sheet. 6. save money now, get a job. film school and making films are expensive. 7. start making a short film. or some youtube videos. 8. try to get on set. find a PA job. 9. check out your college 10. hang out with friends and family, go on a trip, get outside.

This was so helpful! I feel like your my older sister giving me stellar film advice. As the oldest child in my family college is hard to navigate this means so much to me! Thank You for making this, I took notes and will work hard as I can! I’m in film school now, I’m currently at city college hoping to transfer to Loyola Marymount or Chapman University. Thanks again!
