“Everything about filmmaking is incredibly weird, and there's nothing natural about watching yourself on the big screen or hearing your voice.

“Sweet was the sound, when oft, at evening's close, Up yonder hill the village murmur rose; There as I passed, with careless steps and slow, The mingling notes came soften'd from below; The swain responsive as the milkmaid sung, The sober herd that low'd to meet their young; The noisy geese that gabbled o'er the pool, The playful children just let loose from school; The watch-dog's voice that bay'd the whispering wind, And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind; These all in sweet confusion sought the shade, And fill'd each pause the nightingale had made.” MindChildrenMadeSchoolYoungSoundVoiceStepsWatchesLaughingDogSweetWindLowsRoseNotesConfusionEveningHillsLoudSpokesVillageShadePoolPausesSoberCarelessHerdsWhisperingGeeseNoisyVacantNightingalesMingling Author:Oliver Goldsmith
“Gospel ministers should not only be like dials on watches, or mile-stones upon the road, but like clocks and larums, to sound the alarm to sinners.

“I think the power of the short film is incredibly underrated. It is way easier to get someone to watch a 15-minute film then a full-length feature. In those 15 minutes you have the opportunity to express your voice as an artist and hopefully connect with your audience. If you are trying to be a first time feature director then a short film that demonstrates you have a grasp on the themes and concepts of the movie you want to direct is a no-brainer. Whether they are collaborators or potential investors, filmmaking is a visual art form so you obviously need visuals to show them!” IfsThinkingWayWantNeedsTryingFirstsArtShowsFilmFormArtistOpportunityVoiceWatchesAudienceMinutesEasierDirectorsConceptsFirst TimeDirectHopefullyFeaturesThemeVisualsLengthInvestorsFilmmakingVisual ArtCollaboratorsUnderratedShort FilmsNo Brainer Author:Nicholas Ozeki

“A film, since it is primarily a visual medium, should really be like a silent film.
