We must throw all our weight behind creating mulatto Movies. We must gather together and using the cameras and film/video/DVD make mulatto movies! This must be a force to be reckon with! The Beauty of the mixed-race like the mulatto, it's faces and emotions and ideas are the shining light of the universe!
You don't have to go film school. Film schools are a crap shoot. In my personal experience, its waste of time and money. Only one advantage, you probably meet some serious people committed to film. Also, you can get student discounts on software programs for editing like Avid and digital effects like After Effects. Even, if you're not a film major. You can still buy at student discount.
Films are about visual communication. Films are about stories. Regardless if you are in film school or not. Study, Study and Study! Read production, history, theory, screenplays and analysis of film. Never stop working. It's also very important to just practice making movies. It's like drawing. You don't need to be able to afford a camera, you can draw what you want to capture. Practice, eternal practice, is vital. Then things will come together. Talent. Talent is developed through hard, barren, practice... alone with the simplest of tools. Don't wait for everything to come together. I'd just do it. Even if it's not perfect and your equipment is not what you'd like. Just do it. Again and again. Your technique will improve and so will your equipment. Nothing can or will stop you. Make many films as possible. Send it to many film festivals as possible. As well as local rural and urban under-the-radar distribution. Practice, Practice, Practice. Filmmaking is an Art. It's Fine Art, if you use it right.
Do whatever it takes! Never give up your hopes! Never be let down by frustrations. Remember, don't wait for Hollywood to make a serious and respectable films about us. Don't wait for the likes of Halle Berry, either to save the day. There is no one true road to success. Make your own mark and enforce it!
