Film/ TV Director

Hi,
In India, blindly following your dream will not help. There are thousands of people struggling in film industry. Many of them are working as assistant directors for 5 to 6 years but still didn't get any break. The problem with film industry is there is no one right way to succeed. You can find 50 people going in 50 different routes. Before taking any risk, first write 2 or 3 full length scripts, again not high-fi ideas like some inception or something. Scripts which actually work well in Indian scenario.It is good if it can be a low budget film. Then take your decision.
Many new cameras are coming to market like GoPro. Keep a note of them. It is possible to produce the movie yourself.
Above all, try to have influential contacts. Otherwise even if you make a movie no one will distribute. Again hundreds of movies are in studios, since no one are interested in releasing them. So good contact is as important as good script. Facebook and Twitter can actually help in finding those contacts. All these things can be done by doing a job also.
After having all right things then you take risk. Risk depends on the confidence you have in your script.

Hi Aditya,
Becoming a writer is the easiest thing to do. You only need to write. Simple. However, what matters more is that you should be able to write well.
You may write a book in a month or two, or even sooner than this and subsequently, you would easily manage to rope in a plenty of publishers to take your work to its potential readers. But this would be, believe me, a perfect recipe of disaster.
One should write only when there is an interesting story to share, interesting enough for the hundreds of thousands of people to get excited about it. If the storys theme is not fascinating, at least the narration ought to be gripping and impressive. This process of conjuring up a story, giving it a blueprint, followed by giving a concrete shape to it and finally, critically reading the entire text yourself in a bid to improvise is arduous and painful. But this is the only way to rope in reputable publishers who can market your book well and earn you the respect among masses or probably in the writers fraternity at least.
One must remember that you read atleast 10 good books before you write your first book. And when you try your hand at writing, you must remember to elevate the level of your writing to be able to bring it closer to any of the 10 good (popular or award-winning or classic or all of these) books that you recently finished during your preparation of becoming a writer.
For becoming a director, you should pursue a course in cinematography to learn its basics and technicalities as it includes. You will then have your base on the film industry as you'the know what's the scope and where exactly to penetrate your talent at.
