Original Ideas are hard to come by...

Directing is more than just style I've learned style can only take you so far... I love japanese anime and base my style on it, I use vivid color and outragious imagery but in my maturity I'm asking the question for what... really what is all this style really saying.... nothing not a damn thing I'm begining to see there is allot more to this director thing than meets the eye because it is actually a platform for expressing ideas with the intent of entertaining and educating I'm starting to be more selective in the projects I persue not to censor myself but to give myself more time to state my ideas clearly.

Relocating to another state for career is it really neccearry?

Last year I was let go from my job in Detroit I had two options move back in with family (sic) or start from scratch get a job rebuild or change the game move somewhere I've never been before (LA) I asked some opinions and all of them where overwhelmly negative, at the time I was growing disperate and frustrated with lack of opportunties... I wanted to make movies for real but I realized if I was going to do that it was going to be on my own dime and no one elses.... So I did it bought a one-way ticket to Burbank, California got a job a place to stay I did it... now what... dont get it twisted Southern Cali is great... A+ weather gorgious woman and movies are made here lots of opportunity but man everybodies out here doing the same thing how do you stand apart from the pack?  Looks like the internet may be the only way to get noticed one thing I will say about Cali film equipment is easier to come by than in Michigan...  So far I'll say LA is great but its all about knowing exactly what the hell is it you want to do.
