Hey

I think it's cool that you have that kind of interest at a young age. Don't focus so much on the "Famous Director" part, just focus on your love and passion for movies. I know I am a big movie geek and I could honestly watch movies all day!

Ok so what do you do to become a good director?

The best way to become a director is to essentially watch as many movies as possible. Study what the camera is filming and how a certain scene is being filmed, like why is the director shooting from this angle and not that one? Study the actors, don't just watch.

To "make it" as a director is a very tough thing, cause there are many people out there competing with you. Don't be discouraged. If you have enough talent and ambition you could make it.

You could go to school and study film. Buy or borrow a camera and start filming ****. Just go and do it.

I think it's good you have already written your own screenplays. Keep writing and eventually your stories will get better and better. Maybe if you think you have a good enough story you could send it out to studios or producers who are willing to invest in your story.

You should also watch the directors commentaries, and the behind the scenes footage and all that good ****. It will really help you understand the directors job a lot more.

I hope this has helped you a little. Keep watching movies!

I say, don't wait until you graduate, life's too short! Enter a film fest. Period pieces and high intense action movies get noticed the most. Maybe do a Green Lantern Super Hero movie or Captain America. Mob movies get noticed a lot too! One thing I always found sooooo interesting was kids our age (13-16) getting kick out of the house during the Great Depression and had to become hobos. Hope I helped.

To be a director you will need to know about all aspects of film and film production. You will call the shots and will have to prove yourself to people with good educations and lots of money. A lot of people say they want to be a director but why not look into just working in film. You can have a good job, have fun and move up.

I realize you are only 14 but you don't start at the top, it takes work. A M.F.A. in film from USC don't hurt.

I'll just say some options, because I'm in acting so its kind of similar~

*You should go to your drama teacher at school and talk to her about directing one of the school plays

*Maybe you can look on the internet to see if there are any directing classes

Good Luck :)

I bet you will be a director one day :)

Graduate high school, get into a good film school, and work really hard at getting an internship. A movie career doesn't just happen, you have to continuously work on it.

As soon as you can, move to LA and offer to work in any capacity at any of the studios. In other words, get a foot in the door. You'll pick up on how it all works.

You could start by joining an amateur film makers club or something like that.

That's how M. Night Shyamalan got his start. He also started at a very young age.

Write short stories for your daily newspaper. . .

try to study film directing first!
