In the film industry it is hard to break out as a young filmmaker. As a 25-year-old writer, producer, director, Lena Dunham has overcome those odds. After the success of her feature film, Tiny Furniture, Dunham has become the it-girl for young and women filmmakers. At her young age, she has already done two feature films, several online videos, and is the new star, creator, writer, and director of the show Girls on HBO.
In this video from PressPausePlay, Lena Dunham talks about how difficult it is as a young filmmaker to be in the film industry today. The rise of digital video is nothing new, but it is coming to a point where it is overpowering the film industry. Dunham explains that while it's great that everyone with $1500 can buy a nice video camera and shoot their own film, there is also a down side to letting just anyone be a filmmaker. As young filmmakers ourselves, we understand where Dunham is coming from. The video captured a great conversation with Dunham and is something all young filmmakers should check out.
