Going to the director\u2019s panel was very special to me. I had never been to one so I didn\u2019t know what to expect but when I got inside, I was a bit surprised. At the beginning of the panel, they started off by joking around with one another and it only got better. They kept making fun of one another and responded with hilarious remarks. Although the panel was full of comedy, there were some important questions asked. Julian Schnabel said that one piece of advice for an up coming filmmaker was to filter what you need and what you don\u2019t need. He said it\u2019s very important to do this because there is a lot of responsibility that comes with making a film, choose your battles. Don\u2019t waste your time with anything you don\u2019t need, its hard enough as it is. Another piece of advice that I thought was interesting was from Pixar director, Brad Bird. Brad said that he doesn\u2019t like hearing maybe in regards to work. He said he can take yes and no\u2019s but certainly not a maybe. I can see why because when someone says maybe to you in regards to work, the work really doesn\u2019t go anywhere. I agree with Brad, it\u2019s hard to commit and focus on a project when the project is in the grey area. Although the guys were joking around the majority of the panel, what they were saying was important and special to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
