What advice do you have for new directors?
Include whatever you feel will be helpful…
Always practice your craft. Everybody has an iPhone, so you can make things yourself easily while trying to get that break in the business. You’d be surprised how creative you can be on your phone and what you can edit on your own computer. Just continue to make things. Be innovative. Work with the people in your life – family and friends, your pets, your neighbors. You’ll probably do some of your most inspired work when you’re not getting paid. Have your work ready to go and be prepared to show it if you have the chance. And do your homework. Find out what companies are out there, and have fun when introducing yourself to new people.
