I am 24 years old. Ever since I was 10 years old, I have taken 5,000 photos and videos in my life. I have spent 5,000 hours studying filmmaking and photography. This is the 5,000th one. I can't show all of them because either they are personal, have been deleted, or are too boring. It has taken Thomas Edison 10,000 tries to get the light bulb and it has taken the Beetles 10,000 hours to be the best band there is. I have taken most of my pictures and videos in natural light.

I apologize you all, due to business rights and privacy and out of respect, I am unable to completely document my small town, as I do not have the credentials or experience required to document it completely and properly. The documentary project is "too ambitious". Although I can maybe document one small business instead. Oh and HGTV was already documenting my small town.

No worries. Sometimes I wonder if ZachGoodwin is a real boy or a character someone has created. With that said, I'll play along... I think the point of the "hometown" documentary was supposed to be a simple assignment to get you working on a quick and small film. So, I wouldn't worry too much about the demise of the project. But if there is a business or even an interesting person that would allow you to make a film about them and it intrigues you, then go for it.

I think the greater point you need to think about is that a filmmaker needs a film to make to be a filmmaker.

I always thought you wanted to be a narrative filmmaker, so why not spend your time making 60 second short films? Write it, cast it, shoot it and edit it. Then wash, rinse, repeat.

Good luck.

Alright I have talked to the small business man, and he has agreed to help me with filming him. I will say that I will be patient with the process and having to film this will take a good amount of time, and also there will be a lot happening during this time, so again I have to be patient. Is there any advice you all have in filming a small business for an advertisement on Facebook and Youtube?

I don't know, for me there is really only one way to play this. We've all seen a thousand shorts about small businesses, barber shops etc. The real value in going forward with this is to set up a narrative that nobody would expect. Something that gets everyone talking about 'that barber shop' and 'your narrative' on it. For example, hire a smoldering out of state call girl who wants a hazy down tempo Brazillian wax. Don't tell the barber... see where things go?

Oh and, don't rely on the barber to have the wax.... and be sure to keep a bottle of Old Monk in your camera bag in case the barber balks.

I know this could be a little off track from what you and the barber might be thinking, but there is no better way to have your lives catapulted into the spotlight than to forget about the children.

Be the light you want to see in the world.
