Becoming a film director?

I am currently taking an honour%26#039;s degree in Canada for Professional Writing, and plan to double major in Film Studies. This doesn%26#039;t allow me to create films however, just study films (theory etc.) and do a bit of screen writing - it%26#039;s not a degree in Film Production. I was thinking of going to college afterwards to do the production part, since it will take only a year or two, instead of doing a full degree after which will take four. Or would it be beneficial to switch my degree completely to something in Film Production? ** If there is anyone with film industry experience / film school experience who could provide insight to this question, it would be appreciated. **

One of my best friends growing up was almost in your situation. From what I saw of his experience you should do whatever makes you eat, sleep and breath becoming your dream.





Once you are done with school, get yourself into the business. My friend moved to LA (his dad lived there which helped emmensly) and that was basically the big turning point for him. I have lost touch with him in the last 10 years but I dont think that he%26#039;s a director yet. Its a hard business to be succesful in.

If I wanted to be a director I would goto film school.





If you have the passion do it, if your not eating and breathing making movies then stick where you are.
