RE: "Not Saying this to be a dick, but I don't think you're ready to do this" - Am I just a hobbyist filmmaker?
Is there really anything wrong with being "just" a hobbyist? No one goes pro right off the bat. It takes years of work, dedication, and honing your craft before that happens. Ignore the haters and do what you love to do - just doing it will make you better at it. And who knows? Maybe someday the right person will love your work so much that they'll pay you to keep doing it.
Hi @spicyhamster ! Nice name ;)
There isn't necessarily anything wrong with being a hobbyist (filmmaker). It's just that if you're doing something full time - as I was doing - it's way more than a hobby. I totally agree with you that it's very important to ignore the haters but if the one person that you have worked with on a project since the start, is saying these kind of things and he seems to lose trust in you, it's very hard to continue.
Anyhow, I appreciate you reaching out to me and thank you for the kind words and support!
Have a great day! :)
