I'm new to this site & the film-making field. I'm a 17 year old aspiring director. Unfortunately, I live in Egypt, a third-world country with almost no resources & getting into the industry here is close to impossible if you aren't born into it/have connections. Film-making is my dream, and it's hard to pursue it in a country that shows next to no appreciation for any kind of art. But I'm not going to let that get to me! I'm starting college soon & hope I get to start working on my movies. :-) Any advice on how to get started is much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Lama, 17 and your life is in front of you. First simply enjoy your youth, time goes by very fast and then make videos and shorts as you can, with a digital camera and your friends. Post it online and go on Kickstarter and never never give up even when it s tough... Kind regards. Christine.
