"Just make the film. Action is the first word you must learn. And the second is patience. As a filmmaker you must wait for many things. You have to wait for money, the weather, the cast, the release. So you need to have good patience. The process is so long and most of the time itās frustrating. To be a filmmaker, you must first take action, then have the persistence to pursue it."
