Opportunities should be created and seized. They do not come easily, and if you don’t strive hard for it and be very persistence, chances are, you will never succeed.
However, after running out of major companies to spam your screenplay and throw yourself at, you have to temporary suspend your search for an opportunity.
The companies that you haven’t send a copy of your screenplay to or pay a visit personally are either too small or lack the strength to invest in your film.
It is time for you to stalk and harass some well-known producers. These includes people like Kathleen Kennedy, James Cameron, Jerry Bruckheimer, Gary Kurtz, Steven Spielberg. Even their family members are not safe from your list.
Unfortunately, the answer is still no.
Not all the people you have contacted and try to meet are optimistic about your script, and those that are, did not accept your request as director. Even if you offer to sell your screenplay to them for one dollar in exchange for the opportunity to direct, their answer is still no.
They are neither your friends nor relatives, so why should they risk millions of dollars of investment in someone like you, who lacks any qualifications or experiences.
While you do have great amount of experiences and qualifications in your previous life, you are unable to prove it here as the technology is not on par with your previous world. This is one the main reasons why you study so hard in college – you need to downgrade yourself and familiar with basically ancient filming techniques.
Perhaps you should try and film a small part of the screenplay yourself? It will show that you have the experience and the expertise of a real director.
You drive home to fetch your 16mm camera while avoiding your mother. You haven’t been home for almost a month now and you have been dodging her phone call.
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
You didn’t want to confront what happened that day yet as you are far too preoccupied with becoming a director. You haven’t even used your all-seeing eyes to strip every female you come across either or try to get laid. Sex is fun and all, but your future and your life are at stake.
You know that once you have proven yourself, you won’t be needing to go and find girls to fuck. They will be coming to you.
Of course, your mother knows that you come home as she has been keeping tabs on you. Many of her friends and colleagues have been calling her, telling her about you harassing them. However, she did not try to approach you as you head back out with your camera.
She is very ashamed at what happened that day. It was so unlike her. She fears that you are the cause of her arousal, as your touch had made her incredible horny – so horny to the point that she is willing to drop her important work and relieve herself.
After you got your camera, you went to buy some film and find some Mexican seeking works. You tell them you need to shoot some shots from the passenger’s side of the seat and you willing to pay them big bucks for it. They accept of course since they are desperate for work.
God bless America!
The Mexican immigrations listen to your every word as you are their meal tickets.
The preview footage isn’t very difficult to shoot since you are not a novice. Once you got the footage you needed and pay the immigrations, you try to find a good accompanying music.
This becomes a huge problem as the music industry of this world is extremely lacking. This is also one of the reasons why Hollywood isn’t as prestigious as your previous world. A good movie requires good soundtracks to make it great, and good music are very difficult to find.
This is because the Music Industry of this world is small. As there are very few songs that the people love, there are only a handful of singers and composers that becomes superstars.
You are unsure why the music scene is so different from your previous life. It is to the point that your favorite songs don’t exists despites the artists are around. Those artists just don’t get the inspiration to create such memorable hits you had remembered. It must due to the butterfly effects as the history of this world is not the same as your previous one.
There are also a lot of differences in the film industry. There are many actors and actresses you are not familiar with stars in blockbusters movies. You noted this when you watch Star Wars. Let’s just say Luke Skywalker isn’t who you thought he supposes to be.
Since you won’t be able to recreate the same soundtrack for Speed like it was in your previous world, you will have to settle for whatever available.
With that in mind, you drive towards some of well-known music studios.
