Hey guys, thank you for all of your help in the past but my anxiety has really taken a toll on me. One of the biggest fears I have as a filmmaker is
1. Keeping control as a director. I have been known for being afraid of a lot of things if the crew I hire tries to provide suggestions I will likely just go with their suggestions without applying any thought into their suggestion because I have a deep fear of making enemies. I feel that I must please everyone on set or I feel paranoid that someone on set will leave.
2. Feeling insecure about my voice. Constantly whenever I talk as a director, I worry if my voice is too weak, too mellow, and if I sound secure enough to where my crew won't back out on me. I'm young, and I may be working with people a lot older, with more experience, so that makes me feel insecure.
3. Letting my nervousness inhibit my original vision.
And I know that once I start making my movie with my crew, that's when everything starts to matter. Whenever you see directors that have actually made it big, the majority of them have great social skills. Even as reclusive as Stanley Kubrick was, he was always witty, and spoke powerfully when giving the few interviews that he did.
Have any of you ever suffered large amounts of anxiety before you started your film career? And if so, what things really helped you to overcome it? People keep saying keep practicing in social situations but that actually has made it worse for myself.
But what are your opinions and suggestions though that helped you along the way that you could shed more light on with me?
Thanks guys! ;D
