Basically done with school and just want to get my foot in the door. I'm 26 and have been working since I was 15. Didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life but I knew I loved films. I'm a huge Mel Brooks fan, and my favorite director is David Fincher. I love speaking in movie quotes especially when it comes to Mel. I currently in Kansas and just waiting to find that tornado that'll take me to my Oz, so to speak. I want to travel and see the magic behind the movie curtain. I love anything that involves working with a camera, it's one way to show people what you see. I'm also a video editor and enjoy putting stories together. I did enjoy my time as floor director on my student news program, just being on set makes me happy. My goal is just to be in the credits one day.

Hi Lacy great you on board. Who's the Gimp? LOL.
Lacy, when you're here, you are family. We have fights, just like families. Lol. Don't worry no one gets physical or anything.
Good to know I'm not much of a boxer lol just playing. But I do hope not to get into any fights.
Hi Lacy and welcome.
Lacy - Hello and greetings. William
Hi Lacy - The tornado you are hoping for comes from you generating those winds and momentum yourself. Likewise seeing your name in the credits. Popular culture and movies do a disservice to aspiring filmmakers by making the path to success appear much shorter and easier than it really is. Establishing and maintaining a career as a filmmaker requires, commitment, dedication, perseverance, and cleverness well in excess of most careers you might think of. The competition is fierce and the hours can be brutal. And I don't just mean hours on set. You have to invest many more hours in networking and branding yourself, time which is not directly compensated. Success is also highly dependent on being around the right people in the right place at the right time. And only you can put yourself in that place. If you love the dream of being a working filmmaker and are crazy passionate enough about it to invest the long hours of hard work send me an email. I have mentored many young filmmakers over the years and to start you off I have a list of links and resources which will be very valuable to enlighten and inform you on what it will take and how you can get started. Wishing You Well, Brad Rushing BradDP186K@aol.com
