After dropping out of college... and then film school...
He put his nuts on the line by putting 30 grand on credit cards.
Got a bunch of good people together and a funny script and put his nuts on the line.
There is no secret.
Unless you are very lucky or very beautiful or very related to someone powerful, the only way to make it in the business is to be insane. To believe so greatly that you have something to say that you will not only believe in it... but also ACT on it completely and pull hundreds into the orbit of your insanity. To be prepared to risk your life, your livelyhood and your sanity to make the dream real.
So... there you go.
I haven't made it either, yet.
But I think I may be crazy enough to pull it off.
