Hey i am a filmmaker , i make movies , i struggle with everything sound,visuals ,cast but i don’t give up i spend every penny of mine on making films but last night i thought i should quit but you gave me a hope by posting this video you just made me cry , you know what i won’t quit this is the only thing i’ve got ,it runs in my blood it belongs to me more than anything ❤️✌🏻 all the best for every filmmaker who is struggling with it

This video is seriously going to help a whole generation of aspiring film directors, l 100% guarantee it.....l am truly touched.

Great inspiration, indeed! I didn't have any money to make a movie, so I got with my friends and we decided to make a movie from a script I wrote many years ago. We filmed on a mirrorless camera, and we filmed every week or when we could. it took us three years, (my dad took a bad fall injuring his head, I had to stop for a while) but we finished it in 2019. I submitted it to film festivals and it ended up winning 36 awards, including Best Indie Film, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing in several film festivals from 2019-2020. We now have tools in the palm of our hands to make a movie. Use them and make your movie! Your time to shine is when you yourself make it happen.

“You shouldn’t dream your film, you should make it!” - Steven Spielberg

We just made a short film today To celebrate, I (the director) have chosen to watch this video, for like the 10th time It is simply stunningly beautiful

Thanks man, i really needed this, not much people tells you how hard this is and makes you want to do it even more.

What a lovely short film Wolfcrow. The closing sentiments are truly on point!

Man, you almost made me cry! Love you and your work.

bro that ending hits different. God bless you, I needed this, presently going thru hard times with my career but you just gave me hope and shed light into what was dark for me. Thank You

I am inspired to tell my story. You had me from the beginning to end. That I have peripheral knowledge of the subject made your piece even more fun to watch.

absolutely best video i have found on youtube in last so many years.lots of love for you.

One of the most amazing video I have ever seen!!! ❤️ Thank you for this video! 🙌🏼

Your words made me cry at the end about wasted time... Thank you for your job!

Much thanks for this inspirational video for filmmakers... I was a student filmmaker at an age way too old to be a student filmmaker but I basically got to go to film school for a few years for free which I'm grateful to God for even though I never actually graduated... since then I earned an MA in educational multimedia... but my passion continues to be creating science fiction films, and or sci-fi screenplays... I did create a few bargain budget shorts and student films with sci-fi themes during those five to seven years... but I think it's an artistic desire and plan in your mind that often just never leaves you and pushes you to go out there and try again... once again thank you for your video it was inspirational, even the Sci-Fi advice from Ed Wood!!

Fantastic video - great choice of film clips - and it's all true! We have it waaaay better now than when I first wanted to start making movies back in the early 1980s. Video? Super 8 film? no. 16mm? With an inexpensive non reflex Bolex perhaps, but how to edit? Work prints? How to get 35mm blow ups? Sound? Where to show your work and to whom? Heck even: whom to talk to? Soooo much easier now. Looking forward to y'alls upcoming projects! Thanks, as always, for doing this. Very inspiring!

I love this style of content Wolfwrow! Keep em coming!!

The closing clip is so inspiring. Thanks again for a great video.

I've started film direction in a public institute in Athens Greece and from the first minute all our teachers talked about all this stuff you talk about in this video. Thank you, τhank you, thank you, so much for this. I will share it with my teachers and my fellow classmates.

Wolfcrow always looking out for us. Appreciate this

This speaks to me as i always hold off on things till i have better gear. In reality its not near as important as i let it be..

Doing a 48 hour film project today. Watching this got me inspired. Wish me luck!

One of the best videos I've seen on filmmaking

This video, made me so engaged that it could be the most engaging one i ever saw, this year, so far!

The most important thing I needed today and I watched this. Thank you for making this.

Very inspiring...goosebumps on last lines! 🙌

Now Im gonna watch all these “🎥

This is honestly really INSPIRING!

Your comment on a "great film" at 10:11 - YES, 1000x THANK YOU! I have had this argument with friends, family and strangers for decades. I have one of those odd minds that picks up things like little details, I can't help it, and it can completely pull me out from a film I was engrossed by. A great film keeps you in the moment. A great film can be soul changing and that, in my opinion, is the pinnacle for all art.

Nowhere I thought, I would shed tears, while watching this video, literally as you exactly say at 9:13. Precise mental exercise. It could be probably due to the mention of "producers controlling your films" in the lines before. Thanks!

Oh...this is certainly the most common things one's life goes through while making a film. Thanks for the little clip ( from India ). It's truly a dilema for a person ( director ) to go out and tell the story visually to the audience ( who make or break a film ).

I joke around, but this is an excellent look at filmmaking. Wolfcrow you inspire me! Thanks for sharing!

Incredible editing!

insane edit!!

Amazing video. Forget about all the limitations. Just go out there and tell your story! Thank you wolfcrow

Loved this. Thanks, I needed it. Now, I’ll go find those films I haven’t seen.

Great! This is as beautiful as meaningful. Love it!

I really love your videos!

Thank you for this.

I love Dolemite and Bowfinger. Thanks for this wolfcrow.

My freshman year of HS is my most favorite moment. I made a really really bad 15 min short film (imo it was bad) BUT. Its the expeirence that helped me learn what Directing feels like. Our district didn't have a A/V program so I made my own experience. I held meetings with principals and gathered teachers to help chaperon the sets. I met with the superintendent "rented" the school out for 3 Saturdays of the year. I searched for actors, crew members, make up artist, costume design, music choice. I SEARCHED FOR IT ALL. We even held after school practices and line reads. I still have the BTS to this day and its fascinating to see how everyone I found took their role so seriously, how we all got together to make one vision happen. Those 3 Saturday were the MOST stressful... but somehow it was just so satisfying. YOU ARE the filmmaking industry. YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN when you are the Director. Man I need to experience this again. The video really did inspire me.

THANK YOU MAN🙏

the climax of the video.. so inspiring after all what was there before... motivated...

Love this channel!

Great video, this kinda motivated me to fight to the last. 👍

5:35 hahaha omg, I spit my coffee all over my laptop! The comment about actors was hilarious! I don’t work in the film industry, but I relate. There’s always one group of people your training can’t prepare you for. 😂😂😂

Love it and I have so many of the T shirts mentioned in the video.

I am watching your video with great pleasure again - this is a piece of art that can revive my drive, light in some cases an extinguished candle and start my life engine, launch my ship into space into the "My Dream" orbit. A year ago I wrote my comment here, although I rarely do it. It was a difficult time for my family... My husband died of lung and brain cancer at home in July 2022. The diagnosis was made in 2014, after which we experienced an extremely hard period of endless hospitalizations, doctors and unavoidable waiting for his "departure". We lived together for 25 years and we have 8 beloved children. The Cinema has always given me strength and energy, saved me in the minutes of anguish and sadness and inspired me in the moments of happiness, joy and peace. It has always lived, beaten in my heart and flown in my blood. Infected with the virus of the film industry during my 7-year work in television and film, I spent all my little available time in the cinemas, sometimes taking my kids with me. I have learned to edit, taken various courses in video and sound editing, and graphic design, master classes in famous cinema and documentary film directors. I am still working on my skills as much as possible. And the most important: I love the camera!!! And I meticulously keep the habit of capturing and fixing, saving the moments of our life. This is my love, my passion and my life. It has been almost a year since my husband died. I returned to my dream of making the movie I had been working on for 27 years. I'm currently writing my own script. I want to thank all of you again for your work on this channel. I'm looking forwards to your videos!!! Regards, Anastassia Yehudith Michaeli

As someone who somehow found the inspiration, made a short film every month with no crew and no budget for a whole year back in 2018 and then did the same for my feature film coming out at the end of April, I have to warn filmmakers that making the work is not enough anymore. You have to network and make friends with festival programmers, agents and publicists, you have to be clever about what your film is about and who is starring in it, you have to control the budget and maximise profit and you have to know how you're going to market the film to find your target audience. Making a film has never been easier but getting it seen by audiences, recognised by the industry and making money has never been harder.

love your channel👍👍👍👍

My very first inspiration about become a director came from Tarantino and his Reservoir Dogs, but thanks to my father and a high school teacher I learned if you want to know how to make a film the most important thing you must do is watch films, and never stop. Cinema is the greatest expression of art transmission, so we have to worship that. By today my inspirations come from a lot of different sides, countries, styles and periods... From Ingmar Bergman and Alfred Hitchcock to John Frankenheimer and Woody Allen; Akira Kurosawa and Kenji Mizoguchi to the Coen brothers and Stanley Kubrick; Sidney Lumet and Jean-Pierre Melville to Takashi Miike and David Lynch; John Sturges and Don Siegel to John Carpenter and David Cronenberg; Luis García Berlanga and Yasujiro Ozu to Blake Edwards and Federico Fellini... How vast is cinema, isn't it?...limitless...

Great video!

Bravissimo !!!!

Sareesh, That was inspiring. Thank you.

Many times we think we need the best equipment to do the job. It is not true. That's just an excuse to get started. You work with what you have and the results are often amazing.
