Thanks for sharing, Steve Mallinson. It's an excellent video for filmmakers and other creatives to watch! I've been meaning to watch/study older films.

This is so great, Steve! I totally agree -- especially with prep! I love Edgar Wright's style and how he always has so much going on in the frame.

Terrific video about Edgar Wright's personal journey and how his experience applies to all up and coming filmmakers.

The tips, in case you're interested:

Tip 2. Don't set unreasonable goals

Tip 3. Watch older films

Tip 4. Your own style can come from others

Tip 5. Don't rush your first feature

Tip 6. Make procrastination productive

Tip 7. Keep your screenplay about the dialogue

Tip 8. Learn through making short films

Tip 10. Be smart about film festival submissions

I love Edgar Wright's work. It makes total sense that he would lead with using imposter syndrome as motivation. It shows how even the professionals feel that way, but the problems come from letting it hold you back. You have to fake it till you make it. Over and over again.
