very well said hdk. you're awesome.

thanks for standing up for me
i know i may not be that great of a filmmaker, but im willing to learn, and if people critisize me, expecting me to be perfect right away, i dont learn much...

That reminds me of a lot of success stories. Even
those outside of film. Someone says: give up, or you'll never make it. Then they become masters in their field.

There's always going to be haters and doubters. It's how you react to the negative that counts.

wow. guys, thanks for bringing up this thread. i'd missed HDK's post there, which I think should be immortalized as a sticky or something!

I say, don’t worry about the reviews at all and just have fun. Seriously the best work you can do is when you have fun doing it.

As for constructive criticism, It is good to be brutally honest, its the only way we will grow better right? But it also must be constructive.

So if you say someone’s movies suck, good for you, they probably do but at least have the curtsey to say way.
