I spent most of my college years studying film making. After 4 years I knew I didn't want to make movies for a living. I worked on several student films, and it is a lot of hard work and can be quite boring at times. It definitely is very tough business where only the extremely talented and passionate have long careers.
I am quite happy to be working that the Evil Empire which pays me well enough that I have amassed a significant movie collection over the past 10 years.
