"I find the world on Craigslist. I was like, I would like to move in with you," he says of his first day in Los Angeles. "It's one thing when I told back home to people that I want to make movies and they didn't believe it." He bought a camera for 150 bucks and made an entire movie from start to finish without knowing how to edit or do sound design. 'When it's time to execute ... what you have actually what you know and what you can do'
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! The Most Motivational Interview with Filmmaker Attila Korosi. This is how he went from a war torn country to a college athlete with a full scholarship and now a filmmaker in America.
"When I told people I want to go to America to make the greatest movies, they reacted as if I said I want to be an Astronaut and fly to Mars. Life is all about perspectives...Growing up in a war is not as bad as you might think. At least for a kid. People are kinder, closer, and everyone gives you candy. Schools are often closed and you get to play soccer, basketball, and hide and seek all day long. Now, don’t think I’m pro war or anything like that it is just as I said, life is about perspectives. War was given to me and I will make the best out of it. Regardless of your circumstances and the obstacles you might be facing, the human mind is built to do wonders. Everything else is just an excuse. Remember that!" - Attila Korosi, writer and director, known for City Full of Angels (2015), In His Shadow (2012) and Maze of Fate.
