I have definitely come to realize the pattern of film as a
community through out the presentations. I feel like almost everyone has been
like “oh yeah, he/she was good friends with my guy…” when a new presenter first
addresses his or her subject. This just goes to show how important it is to be a part of the film community and network, make
friends, and be a good contributor to film.
The point is the bounce ideas back and forth, to have a sense of
community, and to utilize other filmmakers and friends for areas that you might
not have as much experience or pull. I
think it is part of a good filmmaker’s job to think laterally. Ok, maybe I can’t
do everything for myself, but I do know people that would be perfect for these
jobs. Let’s call them. It is the idea of
the whole “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” concept. It’s a great tool
to utilize. Overall, it is just exciting to think about becoming and being part
of this system that is also something that you love to do. This film based arena that we’re getting into is not
just a job but something that we all love to do (hopefully). That being said, it’s exciting to think about
working with tons of different people, making contacts, utilizing those
contacts or vice versa, and basically building the connectivity in the film
industry. The people that we’ve learned about so far have for the most part
been in it for the love of it, not the money or to be snotty. I’m sure they
enjoyed being part of this film based ecosystem and tried to build it as much as possible.
