Not fearless, but courageous

As a filmmaker, you should focus on what you're most excited to shoot. Not what looks cool or what other people would like. But what you're most excited about seeing on screen.

And a corollary to that is you need to appear to be fearless about putting that your excitement on screen. Your opinion. Your thoughts. Your likes. Your interests. Your passion.

But it's not truly being fearless. It's being courageous. Nobody is fearless. You have to recognize the fear and move past it. Take action in the face of fear. Doing it anyway.
