This is pretty much a lonely and harduous journey of self education and enlightment on the art of FIlmmaking here!

Yeah, Sergio you're right. It's easy to forget we have it good sometimes. Still, you have your camera and your imagination. In other words, you basically have most of what you need right there.
James Cameron said that sometimes it's better to be handicapped on the budget or resource side, it forces you to be more creative.

I believe all of us just have to keep pushing ourselves with what we have. After all, this is what we fight for, isn't it? Thanks for the insentive!
