The secret to the movie business, or any business, is to get a good education in a subject besides film - whether it's history, psychology, economics, or architecture - so you have something to make a movie about. All the skill in the world isn't going to help you unless you have something to say.
George LucasYou need peers; you need people who are at the same level you are. You never know in life when you're going to need help, and you never know who you're going to need it from.
