"Make the thing so you can keep making." Amazing!

[@starbright6579]

Film producing isn't actually hard besides having your own money to make the film, what's actually hard to me is writing the screenplay writing is my weakness. I have trouble writing not only my screenplays, but also my books and police reports I am in school taking up criminal justice to become a police officer and I am failing my police reports because I do not know how to write. But I will take a grammar and punctuation class I can do this.
