You know you're a filmmaker when...

Your wife threatens to leave if you make her watch Citizen Kane, Godfather, or Apocalypse Now one more time.
 
You know your a filmmaker when you constantly use up all your hard drive space, and then your friends hard drive space and then...

You know you're a filmmaker when someone ask what the weather is like and you answer in f-stops.

I also tend to rack focus with my eyes a lot... everything looks cooler, but my head starts hurting after a while.
 
You watch a film and unconsciously identify the focal length of the lens used in each shot...
Your family thinks the crap you make is great, but the ones your proud of they "don't get", nor notice a difference...
 
you know youre a filmmaker when your mom is watching s film, and just through osmosis, sends you texts "They really need a Better AC, the whole film is soft"


True story....
 
when you tell your girlfriend, "lets try that again, but this time with more feeling"

or "can we have this conversation M.O.S."
 
Some really funny ones there including the first.

...you're a Canadian Filmaker when...
after receiving your Juno for Best Documentary you hitchhike home broke.

(Based on a true story of a musician up here. He laughed.)
 
...when you find yourself stuck, alone, in one of the dirtiest, nastiest, messed up areas of town, graffitti everywhere, druggies, whores, pimps, gangs, guns, no cops, and the only thing going through your mind is:

"I gotta shoot something here!"

This one is my favorite. You can't clip a bag of potato chips in my house, because I've hoarded all the C-47's.

You know you're a filmmaker when you call clothespins C-47's...

...or if you've ever maxed out more than three credit cards to shoot something.

My brother owns the camera. But how many times I wish I could take it and document some of the life I've seen and still witness through asscoiation. Most people dont want to know or could even understand it. Ahhhh, good times though. :)

//Edit: Actually, not as bad as what going on in the rest of the world, by a long shot.

Or if you deliberately seek out areas that you've described...
 
Every morning you wake up and write down a dream you just had on 50 sticky notes with a random orange colored pencil you found under the couch.
