ok, i enjoy thinking up movies...im fourteen years old, and everytime i watch a movie, i take into perspective camera angles, acting types...im more than likely going to be a film director when i get older...but anyway.. is there anyone who knows someone or a site that i can find out more about what all i need to do with this idea, like i know writting and stuff, but i would like to find out if anyone knows anyone with contacts so maybe i can get an email address to a good director (like Ridley Scott or Randell Wallace by any chance) so that i can contact them about my idea, and maybe even make it into a movie... thanks a ton, ill post the name once there is a chace it will be made! thanks a ton!
It's hard to get into the business, but you can start by completing your scripts and getting your friends to act in movies. Film them with a video camera, and save up for a good one if you're very serious about making this work. Once you've completed this, look into local apportunities to present your work, like school film festivals, etc. Remember, the key to success is baby steps. It's cliche but everyone in the business got there somehow by going local first. It's gonna be hard, but if you're really serious, you can work at it. Hope I helped some.

What you can do is get a cam corder (b-day or xmas present) and some friends and make student movies. Your first movie will suck, believe me. But, once you weed out your friends who can't act and get the experience of making a movie, your others will improve greatly. Go to your neighborhood film festivals and make contacts there. Enroll your student films into film festivals. You'll probably meet other filmmakers your age and you can collaborate.
