Filmmaking is the art of making motion pictures and the person who makes them is known as the filmmaker. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating — or indoctrinating — citizens.
Filmmaking is rhythm, instinct, emotion, psychology, art- and it draws from the total talent of one person, the filmmaker, who collaborates with the others to create a cumulative sensory event...There is no common pattern for how long it takes to become an filmmaker. However, making an independent film takes talent, ambition, knowledge, salesmanship, persistence, and a bit of luck doesn't hurt either.
