THE CENTRAL QUESTION:

What will you do after school?

Aspiring directors hit a stark realization after graduation.

The fact that nobody will hire them.

The first requirement to finding success as a director is to in fact direct movies. This means you must fund your own projects. But how do you do this if you're tabbed out after school?

This is when dreams clash with reality. The good news?

There's another way.
