Coincidentally, I just watched a movie with an amazing quote. "Follow excellence and success will chase you". It's a Hindi film called 3 idiots. The protagonist was telling his friends not to worry about getting rich or a good job, just focus on developing their skills and the rest will fall in place.

This just shook me. In the past 3 years I’ve started a production company, took it full time, made real money and then some and lately I’ve been struggling with that “imposter syndrome”. But that’s probably because I call myself a film maker but I spend my days dealing with clients, responding to emails, and drumming up new business. “You are what you do everyday”, I call myself a film maker but I feel more like an entrepreneur because I spend more time doing business growing stuff. Maybe spend 7 days a month actually film making. I gotta do something to get more film making into my day to day. Thanks for this insight brother 👌🏼

The biggest worry for me as an aspiring film maker and film student is Covid19....Los Angeles film sets and studios (ALL OF THEM) will not let you rent stages or use equipment until after July...And thats a big if considering the possible second wave everyone is worried about....I've literally been making films on my iphone....but utilizing a set, with crew, collaborating to make your scene or shot come to life...shit you can only do that wishful thinking over Zoom video conference now. I get it we are trying to make due with the best of what we got right now but it just worries me that this profession wont be as strong or stable as it once was....thus slowly putting out that huge film making fire inside of me. Im not trying to let it but the more and more people that I used to work with on film projects that are being affected by the economic throw back of covid19, stop working on projects. Its hard to keep that drive going when everyone is worried about that. Keep up the good stuff D4....been watching you way before I even started going to Film school.

We have a very limited budget (thinking of changing our name to "Zero Budget Films"), we don't have or need the best equipment.

Solid advice. Wish some of my filmmaker pen pals would Heavily Re-Consider how they shoot the money hose at huge overhead prices they face, talking 2.5K to 10K on a short film that doesn't net money let alone generate revenue. I know it's tough but the more indie filmmakers can learn the technical side, it'll pay back in the long term I swear. My earliest shorts were the most expensive for so little that got on screen vs. as time continues my budgets get lower yet 'more gets on the screen'. Wishing everyone well on their journeys.

Thank you for opening my eyes to the endless possibilities of doing whatever it takes to make the Short/Feature Film happen, Regardless of letting the limitations on some of the things we do or don't have affect us because of the challenges some of us Filmmakers may have more than others. In other words, You are right. We should not make excuses based upon the fact that most if not all of us Filmmakers, Let the lack of resources stop us from doing what we should be doing; Be more thoughtful in being more creative on working around the obstacles and challenges brought by the lack of Time, Resources, Cast & Crew, and Money. We should embrace the resources we do have(Even if it is small) to not only use for the hell of it, But to keep on learning from the overall experience/struggle and to adapt to whatever problem that lay before us and to never give up. I know this is a lot to read Lol , But what I want to say is Thank You Darious for your Kick-Ass, yet Inspirational Advice. I appreciate the content you put out and what you do for us, The Up-N-Coming Beginner Filmmakers. This video really gave the inspiration and motivation to make films regardless of how big or how small it is.

It’s funny how I’ve been following your channel for years now and I’m not even a filmmaker. I’m a musician, but almost all your videos apply to music as well. I released a ton of music from I was 20 to 25, but then I stopped. I didn’t stop making music, but I stopped releasing music. Not because I was chasing money or gear, but because I felt like I knew enough about what I was doing and I wanted to work on making something truly great. Instead of releasing half ass stuff every month I wanted to put more time into what I was doing and it’s actually turning out great. When I finally release the project I’ve been working on for a couple of years now it’ll be so much fun. Point is, I’ve found a lot of inspiration from your wise words when it comes to creating art, and I just want to thank you for that. You’ve helped me out a lot with these videos, and I agree with everything you said in this video. Even if you don’t release stuff, you have to work on something all the time. It’s the only way you’ll learn and grow as a creator.

This video resonated with me because a few years ago I realized how much I was focused on gear and tech skills while ignoring the writing and narrative. Gear evolves quickly, and the skills aren't terrible to acquire if you have a vision and the script to guide you. Generally speaking, a lot of tech skills are learned in the moment, using what you got.

Love your content man. I still watch the other one you made every 3 months about filmmaking and why we want to be filmmakers, very powerful. My mom and I are filmmakers and have made 3 feature films and 30 short films together with micro budget money with no investors. We didn’t know how to raise money but didn’t let that stop us. Our crew is just me and her and we love it. We knocked out the 30 short films in 2019 alone. The other 6 years was spent on the feature films. We had no film school but we watched a lot of channels like yours and film riot. Decided let’s try and went for it. Used a canon 7D for our first movie, a Canon 6D for our second and a Sony A7Sii for our third. Use what you have and stop waiting around for money to fall in your lap. Go out and create even if it’s just u and your camera. Stop excluding yourself from your passion because your afraid to fail. Truth is your first project is gonna suck anyways. You gotta keep creating to get better at it.

This is why going to film school was 100% the right move for me. I now have so many friends who want to make films and deadlines to force me to write/shoot/edit when I would otherwise give in to writer’s block or any other mental hurdle and put it off for weeks.

I stopped the video halfway. It wasn’t bad but just felt like I needed to finish my script. Thanks for the support brother, you’re a real one.
