...I'm also not saying I want to be famous, I just want financial freedom just as everyone else, but this would be one of my ways of doing so...

If your reason for wanting to become a director is "financial freedom", I don't think your chances are very good. This is a business that requires a really thick skin. If you're not absolutely in love with the idea of making movies then I honestly don't think you'll last very long. I'll be shooting day 1 of 4 on my first short film tomorrow, and I'll tell you what, this stuff is HARD. Especially if you're aiming for high, high quality.

I'm not saying you won't succeed, and I'm definitely not trying to discourage you. But I think you'd be better off trying to achieve "financial freedom" by doing something you're passionate about. If that's film, then great! It just doesn't seem like it, based on your posts so far.

Either way though, good luck!
