For him to say “they’re gonna know I’m not a real filmmaker” blows my mind. It makes say to myself, f**k it, who cares what ppl think. You’re scared and so is everyone else…so just make the movie since this feeling doesn’t go away, just gotta push through it 😭

I made my first short film at 54. It won a festival award. It's very addictive

As a beginner in my 30s, this is inspiring

They painted a target on the back of this guy at my film school (Staffs Uni) and said dont be like him he’s not a ‘serious director’. Yet I’ve learned more from Spaced, the cornetto trilogy, and videos like this about film making than I did my 3 years in film school

recently, i've found out the imposter syndrome as a motivation myself. i was a bass player in a band, but i would consider myself as a filmmaker first and foremost and i didn't really take it too seriously and treated it as some sort of sideproject, skip to 2 years later and i found out we were on the radio a bunch of times in our local city radio and the one suggesting it was one of the biggest bands in my country. i'm not a musician, i'm not a filmmaker like everyone would say, i just do what i love to do and people will eventually enjoy it like you do. see yourself as yourself first and then decide what you like

Edgar is such a likable guy, and yet is innovative in his directorial style. He's observant and he's willing to share. Great guy!

I love the part where he says "you should try to make everything else as succinct as possible" and then you see him open his mouth to say something else before it cuts away
