Not many know what Steven Spielberg did as an unpaid unofficial intern in Universal Studios at age 17.
He used to show up every day, sneak into the studio several times, & network with everyone in every department.
No matter how many times he was thrown offset, he was determined to make it. This drive & dedication of 5 yrs soon paid off.
Back then, he had filmed a short film Amblin, which Universal applauded, they offered him a 7 yr contract. Thus, making him the youngest director ever, to be hired by the studio at 22.
His first amateur movie was with his dad’s camera at the age of 12.
‘Jaws’ – his first blockbuster came when he was 28, which was almost 16 years after he made his first film.
As a kid, he was pimpled, wimpy, nerdy, bullied for his religion & also his looks they called him “the retard”. “I had found a way to accept myself in my own life by making movies, I had found what I was good at,” he said.
Have you found what you are good at?
