I am very passionate about creating films for the future (someone once called me a trailblazer)! I'm passionate, driven and organized. While I agree that one must have knowledge of the industry they are working in, I definitely believe in the old adage 'it's not what you know, it's who you know'. I have had the privilege of being in contact with industry professionals, as well as winning first place in the Holmfirth Film Festival's Young Filmmakers' Competition 2013 (Senior Category, for the film 'The Spirit of Where You Live').

Hi Alice! It is true what you say. Networking may very well be the most important thing you have to do to get anywhere in this industry, and many people have gained fame not because of their academic knowledge (although it does help to have any) but because of whom they've come in contact with. Good for you!
I totally agree with you, welcome to Stage32 and let's start working! :D
