Derek Dienner of MAKE/FILMS talks about the movie-making process and the inspiration behind the upcoming film Brave the Dark—the incredible story of Nate, a struggling, homeless teen, and Stan Deen, a popular drama teacher who takes Nate under his wing. Highlights: Forty-five investors from Lancaster County funded the production of the film. If you're too emotionally invested in something, take a step back to think and act sensibly. Don't lose hope in seasons of struggle.  Your team should be made up of people who share your vision.  Learn the balance between being patient and knowing when to act.  Quotes: "Literally, I could make pages and pages of lists of the things that shouldn't have happened that happened—the miracles that happened—to make the movie possible." "I'm just a steward of something bigger." "The heart behind it moves mountains."
