I want to write and film my own feature length movie, but I am lacking funds for more equipment because let's face it, you can't make a feature length film with one camera. How did you get your start and how much did you spend on your first film?
Do it, by any means necessary. I think Issa Rae is a perfect example of what you don't need in order to enjoy success. Tell strong relatable stories and everything will follow.
Wow. I needed this myself. Thanks, Lachele, for the question and all others for the encouragement.
I shot my first film over two different weekends b/c checking out equipment on Friday and returning it Monday only counts for one day with rental houses. It cost me $14,500 but returned well over $100,000 b/c a distributor loved it and pushed it.
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Sobowale Bamgbose, I live in the Untied Kingdom, I am looking forward to making new acquaintances,showcasing my talent and enjoying a good discussion.
I'll be acquaintance number one.

When you see an actor win an award or book a role, do you get mad and shut down or do you use it as inspiration to UP your GAME?!
Stephen funny I find UK actors more supportive. LOL
"Grass is always greener" I guess LOL
I love when actors make great acceptance speeches. work on stage and in film. talk about the film or the play and the importance of the show itself. Writing seems to be the main game as far as the beginning to great work.
