Writing exercise

I hope in five years I have complete system of knowledge and traveled many countries and feeling their way of lives and thinking.
And went to some distant places, such as Iceland, Norway, New Guinea or Easter Island. You can find some very quiet or isolated places, and you can have familiar relationships and contacts with the locals.
I hope having a stable shooting project in a new sttlement, and you can drive around in your leisure time, discover new people or things, and meet new friends.
All of this helps me to do something more ideas and innovative.
I like a lot of directors, and I hope to create good works like them, but more importantly, my own style and my own observations. I watched some of the courses of directors I liked, and they talked about similar things, that is to observe life and read a lot book, or to understand yourself more deeply.
But that’s the step you have to go through, and it’s not the same as building a house or doing a manual work, it’s not that you can progress by working hard every day. And more importantly, experiences and feelings。
So I don’t know what kind of filmmaker I will become in five years, this is based on my life and experience in the next five years, and I can do now is try to make myself have a abundant life in five years.
