others don't complete my work. i don't care whoever is it, i never would let someone do that, it's MINE. i just tell people what to do. but to stage something there are other people i have to work with, the people who made me write the script and who will probably cut some scenes out. it seems it's my only choice right now, to work with them or anyone else who is able to cut until i'm ready to take bigger and faster steps. i actually want to do it on my own, right now and i'm still trying to figure out how to do such a thing alone (and i'm open to any suggestion from you). i think writing anything is meant to be done alone and i do it that way because it's the best one but shooting a film or performing a play... i really have to work with a crew (and with some people outside the crew) unless we are talking about an online monologue video here. so yeah i'm not completely free at the moment but one day i will be, i have just begun. what i'm saying is,
  i don't
  rely on others to complete my work, it's more like i command them. you definitely should try this. even if 'they' are the people i told you about, i'm the one who is in the driver's seat and i wouldn't write the script if i wasn't. letting them cut stuff is compromising, because i know the script i've written is risky, and daring.
right, i agree with all of this. and i do hope to do that stuff some day. the only thing is if you really want to tell a bunch of people what to do, you need to be at a reasonably high standing in society. meaning you need to be able to pay everyone adequately, at least if you want professional quality work. and if you can't afford to pay them, you have to always worry about whether they want to keep working with you, and you will be walking on eggshells, perhaps afraid to give the kind of serious direction you might want to give. Working completely alone is a different thing. it means you can't use actors, you can't have camera operators, .... you are limited to entirely different mediums, like animation, etc. and that is very hard work. like i said, it depends on your level of difficulty in working with others. if you really really can't do it (like i can't) then it might be worth it to re-imagine your entire career around things you can do yourself. at least until you have more resources. nowadays you can get further than ever working alone
