I love hearing about first time filmmakers making a splash. This week Fede Alvarez was added to that number. In a deal similar to Neil Blomkamp mentoring by Peter Jackson, Fede Alvarez is now being overseen by Sam Raimi. Check out his 4 minute short on alien invasion (below). Also check out the original article about all of the Hollywood deals swirling around Fede.

I find this news very inspiring and I think the lesson learned is to make something small, make it well and then release it. Sign with an agent and manager and then you make your own luck.

How do you make your own luck?
