"In order to achieve even a modicum of success, Black filmmakers
sometimes have to go through extraordinary circumstances."
--Spencer Moon, Reel Black Talk (my cousin!)

I'm starting my informal training. In order to fully prepare myself for what is to come I must throw myself into learning as much as humanly possible. Why, the answer is twofold:

1. Nobody wants to look green. Still, I need to get myself up to speed, learn the basics, and get some much needed historical perspective.

2. I didn't major in film, actually up until a few months ago I had no sincere interest in film. I need to know if this is what I really want to do. It is. But I just want to make sure. LOL.
