Am i crazy to wanting to become a film director in America?
I'm a 16 year old girl, i grew up in Germany and now live in South Africa. I'm doing really good in school and love making movies! We have made several films for english projects and my groups was always the best. I always edited it myself. I'm sort of a perfectionist in everything i do. I LOVE watching movies and am interested in how they do them. My dream is to become a movie director or just go into the movie business. Am i mad for wanting to make it in America and go to a university like NYU to be able to make it big? Even if it's not NYU, could i still make it to atleast make a good living? Any advice most welcom! Remember, i don't care about money. I want to work at something i love doing, as long as i can live off it. Thanks for the motivation!

Actually, you're FAR from crazy. I wouldn't mind doing that myself. I'm 16, but I'm American. Like you, I've always been fascinated by how they do movies. I say go for it. Follow your dreams, and hopefully you'll pull through. Best of Luck to you.

Seriously, if you have the passion and some ability the do it. Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. Hollywood needs good directors. There are only a few that would be considered good, and a metric ton of bad directors out there. Please keep it up.

If you have the passion, go for it! I'm also 16 and I want to become involved in photography and film. See if there are any classes or workshops you can attend to help you early on--I found a script writing and filmmaking one that I'm going to over the summer. And yes, NYU is a great film school, but it doesn't guarantee you'll make a good living. Art is hard to make a living off of, but it's worth the risk if you follow what you want to do. : )

You are not crazy at all, once you come to America you can accomplish anything. Just make sure that it's truly your passion and if it's your dream just go for it

To tell you the truth, America needs directors. And mostly directors from South America, Europe, and other countries. I also want to become a film director, and just like you, I have dreams and passions for film and am only 15. While researching for many film schools, most of the schools are not so famous like NYU, but many people who have this passion go to those schools just to make films and send messages through those films. In America, there are so many people who are willing to do anything to do their jobs and fulfill their dreams. And of course, you will make it. I wish you best of luck!
