Day to Day
Every week I have to come up with a story. Whether it be a short or a scene, I have to write a script, shot-list it and then shoot it. I do have several friends that I work with but it mostly comes down to me and one other. Writing is my favorite part. That initial spark of an idea and then adapting that into a script. When I do that right then directing can be pretty fun but I think I like acting better.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for college students
Take production classes. Some theory and aesthetic classes are great in the beginning but you can get lost in them in later semesters. When you take production classes you can use what you've learned and apply that to your own films. Just make sure that it's the RIGHT production class to your field. I don't know how many times I've taken the wrong class based on a professors recommendation. Do your own research, make sure it makes sense to what you want to do.

From Parents:
"You should join the navy, join the coast guard. Be an engineer, try becoming a P.A. or get an internship for a big Hollywood company. Work behind a desk or a counter."
