Advice for Young Filmmakers

For young filmmakers, my advice is to make shit, to create relentlessly, and to prioritize the expression of your own unique perspective and experiences. Don't just copy what you see others doing or what you think will be popular. Focus on creating work that is meaningful to you and represents your truth. Utilize social media as a platform for sharing your work, but don't get caught up in comparison or seeking external validation. Strive to strike a balance between creating and consuming, and find ways to be intentional with your time and energy.
