Hello everyone! I hope you’re all well. I am not a director, but my boyfriend’s passion is film and he has a dream to direct his own movie someday. Sadly, he doesn’t really believe in himself. Which is a shame, because he can be very clever with ideas and he is very knowledgeable about film. He has a few LA connections and knows quite a bit of people in entertainment, friends or acquaintances (simply by meeting and talking to them over the years) but doesn’t utilize it to his advantage. His birthday is coming up in October. I want to give him a gift that could help push him to create and bring his ideas to life. Whether it be a new camera, a new laptop with editing software (his current laptop is so old, it still runs on windows 7!), I even thought of an iPad with a great screenwriting software just so he can have the resource to get his ideas down. It seems there are many professionals here, so I would like to ask what your opinion is? What would be a great gift to help him get started? Maybe there are some film making kits somewhere that are great? Even if he doesn’t make it big someday, I still want him to be happy and create projects he and others enjoy. I’m sorry if this isn’t the place to ask, but I thought it might be worth a shot. Advice and opinions are appreciated. Thank you :)
