There’s never been a better time to make a movie yourself. Just ask John Homa, judge and acting coach on Scream Queens Season 2.
While giving an interview for the upcoming Scream Queens EPK (electronic press kit) John got a little side-tracked, and went into a topic he’s very passionate about: taking responsibility for your own Hollywood Success.
In short, don’t complain about not making movies…just go make a movie!
Here’s John getting all worked up:
Its still hard to believe people need this advice, but I come across people who are looking for a big budget, and they have never even made a film before! I dont think they get, making small films is your “apprenticeship” Somethihg that has dissapeared since the access to cheap tools.
All always, great advice from Joke & Biagio

The reality is that not everyone has the talent to make a film. Many of the people who have the talent don’t have the necessary “get it done” capabilities. If you think you have the skills, put down the bong, dump your girlfriend (or better yet, cast her), and make the damned movie. Don’t take a loan or a second mortgage, don’t expect to make a dime back, and don’t expect to get discovered. Do it because you want to create something great, and something that is truly yours. If it turns out to be the real deal, and if you work hard enough, then hopefully your film will reach an audience. Awesome video.
