    Well ages ago I wanted to make films for fun, but then decided about looking into it as a job - set up a kind of film company - it was just me and a few mates, but we had no money, no equipment, no experience, no cast or crew etc. I decided to do something else I'd wanted to do for a while, online radio, with the idea if it worked well, and got some revenue, we could slowly move into the film industry. As I work on University projects and future outside projects, I put them online.

    The thing is short film is experience, and it helps to have experience. Anyone can decide to work in the film industry, but it helps having experience e.g. knowing how the industry works, production wise knowing about the different paperwork, knowing about equipement etc. This is really what the degree is for.

    The thing is I could try and get a job in the industry, but having examples of my work will help, and knowledge will also help. This is a starting point. In the next few months. This is our short film from last year, its far from perfect, a few sound issues and such but I think for a 1st year piece it turned out pretty good and got top marks.

    Having a crew does help. Part of the way you get big is contacts.
