I am also interested in film directing…
But I’m too young to tell you how to get to the top.
I found out that the BEST school for film directing is in Prague and it’s called FAMU…
I think that film directing, as a profession, isn’t very practical to make a living of, unless you make commercial films. Because you see nowadays people don’t enjoy GREAT movies, they enjoy just entertaining ones (hope you understand what I mean)
