Is it possible to be an aspiring film director and also to be an environmental lawyer? -

I want to be a film director but I want to have a support career incase the film directing doesn t take off?

It certainly is possible, especially in California, although your emphasis in the beginning might want to be entertainment law so it may be easier for you to meet those connected to the entertainment industry. I just read an article about an attorney who was also a director/producer in The Daily Journal. Go to: http://www.dailyjournal.com and read the article titled quot;For Former Lawyer, Life Is Bella’ Attorney-Turned-Producer Scores an Indie Hit With His First Projectquot; by Don J. DeBenedictis Daily Journal Staff Writer. If you can t read the article, send connect to me on Yahoo Answers and I will send you the link (just remind me who you are). Hope this helps! ^_^

It is possible to do just about anything you set your mind to. Chris www.genericguidebooks.com

It s possible, but it will require a great deal of time and energy. Being a lawyer is a great time and financial commitment in and of itself, but if you can manage to find the time and resources to do both, than more power to you.

IT IS MOST DEFINATELY POSSIBLE!! but just ask yourself one question do I really want to be a film director? I am in the same boat, I want to become a doctor and a Director, and you know what so many people tell me it is. I know a singer who is a doctor? so why not! did you know director Mike Newell, went to Cambridge University, and he is a director! See if you set your mind onto something, never think away. Just remember I know it may be hard, but try and go into Film schools, to gain experience, but if you cant, no worries, just create your own film with a bunch of friends of local actors, producers, and enter it into a film festival. If you dont have the money, Fundraise, or even tell your crew to work at a place or volunteer, to raise the money. and if it is good, you will get noticed. For example, did you know Peter Jackson entered his film into a film festival, and thats how he became famous? So I wish you all the best, with your double careers. Ps. Pray for me too, and maybe we can direct a film together and enter it into a film festival Good luck and I wish you all the best
