Well the only place to start is the begininning. I'm a 17 year old with aspirations of becoming somewhat famous and successful in the world of film and screenwriting. My friend and I have begun collaborating, brainstorming, and storyboarding on a movie we've thought up. Since I really have to place to start, I thought I'd just ask some basics. What does it take to get started in the film business? I know its a bit of an open question, and any type of answer is appreciated, as we could use all the help we can get. To tell you the truth, its a comedy, and thus has quite a bit of crude teenage humor. It could be compared to Super Troopers, since it pokes fun at the police, plus has a lot of things that would be funnier to a younger audience. In our eyes it has the potential to be a success, but who knows, we might just have a poor sense of humor. Thanks in advance for the help.
