It may not take talent (or an abundance of it), but it does take a certain type of intelligence. Kevin Smith clearly has that. I fear that many people (including the guy who started this with a tweet) probably will never get something like this moving in the right direction.
- cmos 16y agoWhat tragic thought! While his path may not be laced with such obvious success as Kevin Smith, the whole point of the tweet is that all it requires is passion and a willingness to follow it. Surely anyone is capable of that.

- og1 16y agoWell, I think it depends on what you define as a success. To become celebrity filmmaker, probably so. But to "start over" and just find a better job like the guy in the tweet is asking should be reasonable to accomplish.
- coliveira 16y agoAnd how you (or anyone else) would know that you don't have the talent and/or intelligence? This sounds like a mute point until you try to make it happen.
