Mentors are role models who take a vested interest in your success. Seldom, you encounter a tutor at unexpected occasions, and they will  assist you in your filmmaking quest. A mentor will provide awareness and will often direct you on the way to a successful outcome. This does not signify that your teacher will develop a business union with you, but he or she may provide you with the essential support and impact which will drive you nearer to what you want to achieve. Your counselor will be there to answer questions. Are you familiar with the saying: “When the pupil is prepared, the instructor will show up?” Even though this sounds mystical, for me, finding a mentor has always happened without planning. With tolerance, ability and some reassurance, you can get hold of a mentor in the motion picture sector, without going through film school. In spite of existing connections movie students usually have, permeating the movie sector is tremendously uneasy. Residing either in New York City or Los Angeles, the highlight of American filmmaking, may be favorable for meeting with probable teachers. Apply for menial jobs in places like production studios that will give you access to film insiders. Though you will need to preserve a professional relationship with the person you work for, it may lead to relationships with different film industry connections. Create a piece of your work to show would-be mentors. Whether it’s a screenplay or a short video, having a well-produced sample may secure you a job as an intern or as a production assistant. Keep a copy of your sample on hand, in case you find the right situation to pass it on to a possible teacher. Search for filmmakers besides from the popular industries who generate independent films or television-movies. Joanthan Demme, John Sayles, Martin Scorsese, were taught by Roger Corman, a movie producer who made a movie with a B-rating. Because they were able to team up with Corman, this enabled them to broaden their individual style, while gaining the know-how in film budgeting. Send in an application in studio courses that help sharpen your skill or enroll at the American Film Institute. The AFI Conservatory is a prestigious organization that has offered Terrence Malick, a former philosophy graduate pupil, the opportunity to develop mentor relationships with established film producers. Mentors have been there. They reach out and help you grow as a person. I truly regard mentors are indispensable for us to attain our dreams in filmmaking.
