i was thinking of becoming a screenwriter and write my own movies and release them on my own. i know Spike Lee did that during his first film, ''She's Gotta Have It''. i want to make films where black folks can laugh, cry, be proud of their race, enjoy and can relate to. what do you bruhs think ?

I make videos and tv shows locally. Sold a screen play to universal in 2007. Best piece of advice I have is if you are going to do it, then do it. 90% of the people I meet who CLAIM they want to be a part of movies take no incentive to do so. They just type a status update and that's the end of their dream. If you want to make movies then purchase a DSLR and shoot. A short film, feature film, a good film, shytty film, commercials for local businesses whatever. I'm not the greatest at what I do but I get film work locally cuz I'm reliable. Doesn't matter if it's good or bad camerawork cuz it's camera work which is more than most people will ever have.

I'm taking a screenwriting class right now and that shyt is either easy for you or its fukking hell. All i gotta say is Practice, Practice, Practice.

It's something you just get better with the more you do.

Is it a passion? are you serious about making a career out of it?

I know this sounds goofy and all but you can be whatever you set your mind to, breh.

If these are your true aspirations, far be it from me to shyt on another man's dream. If you mean it, I wish you all the best.
