3 Painful Lessons of Independent Film

directingfilm:

A candid post by Elliot Grove of the Raindance Film Festival.  It’s worth reading in full.  Here’s the gist:

  1. The importance of content - basically be great, not just good.
  2. It’s not how hard you work - working hard is just that, working hard, and nothing more.
  3. Lady Luck - put yourself in the position to succeed.

If you weren’t born into the business, you’ve likely experienced these lessons yourself.
