“I think a lot of times when people have "creative blocks" and I know my share of friends do as well if they're at just some stuck point. They're not sure what to do with their lives or their writing or their photography or their filmmaking or whatever it is that they're doing. I think the best advice is you have to change your life up completely; to go on a trip, to go spend a year being of service. Be willing to take some major drastic action to get you out of your comfort zone and go inside, not outside.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWritingYearsWellsActionCreativeShareAdviceWillingGoes OnComfortPhotographyMajorsStuckBlockNot SureZoneFilmmakingComfort ZoneChanging Your LifeBest AdviceDrasticCreative Block Author:Rainn Wilson

“Loving photography and wanting to be a painter, it all ended up in the process of filmmaking. It's strange professionally be to connected because it connects you to architecture, it connects you to painting, it connects you to writers, to actors.

“I left film because I felt that photography was my art. It was something I could do on my own, whereas film was so collaborative. I thought as a photographer I could make something that was artistic and that was mine, and I liked that. And it wasn't until I got back into film and I have very small crews and I could do very tiny filmmaking that wasn't 100 people that I still felt that I was making something artistic as a filmmaker. So, you know, I'm an artist, and whether it's photography or film, I want my voice to be there and I think my voice is very strong in this film.” PeopleThinkingArtFilmArtistStrongPhotographyPhotographerArtisticFilmmakerVery StrongFilmmaking Author:Timothy Greenfield-Sanders
“I was going to go to a four-year college and be an anthropologist or to an art school and be an illustrator when a friend convinced me to learn photography at the University of Southern California.
