I really enjoyed Jacques Audiards A Prophet, which is about life in prison also Claire Denis' Beau Travail it was probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing movies I've seen and I highly recommend Lukas Dhonts Close, I can't even describe how devastating this film was, it's a Belgian film but they speak french so I'd say it counts, it's a must watch imoo.
Make things, stop thinking about making things and just make things.
Don’t make things that potentially will make a profit.
Let yourself fail (which you probably aren't).
Don’t even tell anyone you want to start, take the pressure off it.
We aren’t all child prodigies. THATS OKAY! and GOOD!
Stop thinking, start doing :)
