I also had so many people who came out and helped for free or a discounted rate. I think this story effected them and it was really awesome to have a group of people who were in it to have fun and tell a story that meant a lot to them. I made some friends for life on that set.

As for what I learned about myself, I discovered my love of working with actors. That\u2019s definitely my favorite part, tied with writing. I could go on and on about the technical things I learned. From getting permits, insurance, casting websites, equipment rentals, crew hiring, cameras, editing, and film festivals.<\/p>\n<p>It was a lot but I would say the most important thing I learned is that the director is so dependent on the crew. You literally can\u2019t do anything without every single person on set. So for me, I learned that finding a great crew that you trust is the most important part.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-margin-top:5%;--awb-margin-bottom:5%;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-6 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"479\" title=\"c3199b_07c04fb55b3d4637ab16ea18c46de08d~mv2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/c3199b_07c04fb55b3d4637ab16ea18c46de08dmv2.webp\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/c3199b_07c04fb55b3d4637ab16ea18c46de08dmv2-1024x479.webp\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-39279\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271976%27%20height%3D%27924%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201976%20924%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271976%27%20height%3D%27924%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/c3199b_07c04fb55b3d4637ab16ea18c46de08dmv2-200x94.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/c3199b_07c04fb55b3d4637ab16ea18c46de08dmv2-400x187.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/c3199b_07c04fb55b3d4637ab16ea18c46de08dmv2-600x281.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/c3199b_07c04fb55b3d4637ab16ea18c46de08dmv2-800x374.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/c3199b_07c04fb55b3d4637ab16ea18c46de08dmv2-1200x561.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-12\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>Who are your favorite Directors, and what are your favorite films?

She was fortunate enough to grow up on a set watching her dad direct. She was difficult to find when visiting set because she was off learning about each department. Mak has gotten to mix sound, act, and do stunts professionally all starting at age 6.<\/p>\n<p>One day she decided to sit down and write an episode of &#8220;Blue Bloods&#8221;. It got rave reviews from producers and excellent coverage. She then went on an interview to write a feature film and got the job that same day. She was 16 when she wrote the movie. The response the script has received is all thanks to her unique perspective on the world. Mak is able to empathize with characters of all ages and backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>Mak\u2019s motto is, \u201cI don\u2019t make up stories, I tell them.
