How to make a damn good movie--

First, write a damn good book.

Second, have a damn good screenplay made from it.

Find the money.

Find the actors.

Find or create the locations.

Start filming.

Post production--get it edited.

It might take you ten years.

In the meantime, keep writing (and making movies) and get your personal life in order.

It ain't easy.

Like life in general, IT'S A Gamble.

a crap shoot.
