Hello Mr. Marshall
First of all thank U for this great EZINE and again thank U for the Ebook “The Modern MovieMaking Movement” and i have a couple of questions , Thank you for Your Time :
1. I think i am a natural born Actor/Director (Wow How Selfish ) as i did couple of shooting 2 of them under 4 Min , 1 of them about 15 min (and i did act in them the first 2 in the main role , the last one was a side role) first Question is how can i Expand my job to be an international filmmaker?
2. I really want to be a Director and i have really good scripts (Actually those are in my mind not on paper ) at least compare to some recent Hollywood Movies Like… oh no lets not name them Bcuz You know them better than Me Sir But when i see they spend money for such a nonsense movie , i tell myself man i can do far better than this… so why shouldn’t .
but i have a problem , i Don’t know anything about script writing , and the question is how can i write scripts when i got no skills ?
3. Is there any organization that supports young Directors (like Me) around the world , what about in Canada ?
4. Is there any way to get involve into professional film making (like Holly wood) For guys like Me ?
5. Excuse me , But can i send You a Friend Request in Facebook?
and in the End , My Questions are a lot more than these , but these are most important for me to know about… aging thank U for Your Time.

Abraham, this is very hard to do for most actor/directors. You need to have a lot of trust in your DOP and your 1st AD. You should also have video playback so you can see the takes you were acting in. This also means that your shooting times will be longer as you have o review the takes – after they have been shot.
