Is it possible for a movie studio/company/program to sponsor me as a director?

Question by sportsfreak: Is it possible for a movie studio/company/program to sponsor me as a director?
OK, heres the deal. I’m 16 years old, and my ambition is to be a movie director. I know its a long shot, but its really what I want to do. I have made movies, with stories, with my friends, but I had to do it with a pathetic camera. I have money, but nowhere near what I would need to get a significantly better camera. Basically, I need about $ 1300 to get a Sony HD camcorder to make my movies. It hard to impress people with movies shot w/ a $ 300 camera. $ 1300 is nothing to a major movie studio, but they wont just give money away. Does anyone know of any places (movies studios, companies, programs, etc.) that would sponsor me with a little cash and in return put their names in the film? As you can see, I dont need that much money, but its more than I could ever get my hands on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
