Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives.
Make no mistake, I am by no means a professional filmmaker. However, as an aspiring screenwriter and a person with a minor disability, I’ve had to learn the art of letting go of doubt and moving on to the next phase if I want to truly embrace my craft.
Years ago, I attended my first Austin Film Festival, after taking a Women in Film and Video workshop about indie movie producing. It was in Austin that I heard director Frank Darabont say that if you want to write screenplays and work in the movie business, you should try to get work on a film set. This is why I decided to volunteer my services as a production assistant this past weekend.
Even though I’m not a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination, I’ve been able to learn to make videos by simply trying things out.
The Vimeo Weekend Challenge has helped by pushing me toward taking chances I wouldn’t normally.
There’s a very easy way for anyone to learn to make videos. Just pick up a damn camera and start!
That’s essentially what I did when I started making my own original videos for the Vimeo Weekend Challenge.
