Question

making films is a tough business. some people go to film school for years in order to meet a supportive community of filmmakers. others invest their life savings in film projects. film - making doesnt require a college degree, and it doesnt have to be expensive. all you really need is an idea and a camera. of course, it helps if your idea is fairly simple. for example, why not use your friends as actors and a safe place in your neighborhood as a filming location?
based on this passage, it is clear that the author wants readers to
a. consider going to film school in order to meet filmmakers
b. make films with professional actors and good equipment
c. learn how to properly invest their money in their films
d. try making films without money or a college education

Explanation:

The passage says film - making doesn't need to be expensive, and gives an example of using friends as actors and a neighborhood location. Option D says to try making films without money or a college education, which matches the passage's idea of low - cost film - making. Option A: The passage says some go to film school, but the main point is about low - cost film - making, not promoting film school to meet filmmakers. Option B: The example uses friends as actors, not professional ones, so B is wrong. Option C: The passage doesn't talk about properly investing money in films, it's about making films without high costs.

Answer:

D. try making films without money or a college education
