Here's my response to this all. I just got off the phone with my professor who has been a director for 15 years. He told me that he did have to work his way up, and that a college-education isn't the most vital thing to be a grip... you do have to "pay your dues" (a phrase which I despise) BUT, thats not always the case. Apparently the path that

Look, what your professor told you is all we have been trying to tell you. I have been pissed because you refused to listen to me and what I was trying to say.
Also, I think you are getting a little caught up in the phrase "pay your dues" and once again you weren't listing to what I an everyone else meant by it.
When I yelled at you to fuck off, that was because I don't want to hit the point where I sever a friendship. None of us have been against you this whole time. Like I said before, we were just trying to tell you what your professor said. That's it.
I don't know if you meant it that way, but when you were talking to me all it sounded like was you just bitching and yelling at me with out taking in to account anything I was trying to say. And, I hate to say it, but you sounded dismissive to those of us that will have to work our way up and are willing to do so. I hate that. So, I was pissed ok? I don't get that angry easily and I need time to cool down when I do. That is why I told you to leave me alone. I'm still kind of pissed, so I still need time but I just wanted to let you know why I was mad. I don't hate you, and I'm not against what you are trying/going to do. It is always up to you, and I truly have no say in the matter. I just hate being yelled at and not listened to, and weather you meant it that way or not, that is what you were doing.

Again, I just wanted to let you know. That's it. And yeah, I am still a bit mad so I will still need time to cool off, k?

I really think you need to realise that Nathan is just saying that he feels the trajectory the professor mentioned is not appropriate for him, not that he feels it's not appropriate for other people or that he's saying that he is the only one who should be exempt from that kind of path. It's not a matter of exemption : it's matter of being able to realise the dreams he has and his fears of not being able to do that in the path that the professor presented.

Since Nathan is not attacking you or anyone else at any level, it seems to me that you should not be so upset about his response : this is not about you. You need to realise he's a true friend to you and that if his emotions were a little out of check, in your own response your have been also. Since the extended situation of what makes a good film career doesn't concern you, why not drop that slight issue and get on with the real business of your friendship?

I just got that you told me I had to work my way up. I get now that that isn't the only way to do it.
