Where do first time directors get money for their first film?

Even a low-budget indie costs like $500,000.

Saving up, pitching to producers, sucking Jew cock, those are the few ways I've heard of doing it.

Step 1: Be a jew

Step 2: Withdraw shekels from cave

By being recommended by directors they worked for as techies.
The only young directors are daddy's boys or have obvious connections.

You should at least save up that much.

I've got a Canon 70D and it works fairly well for me, but I don't do much with it.

Films these days can be made dirt cheap with a minimal crew. Primer was made for just $7,000.
If you want to make something serious it involves trying to get a studio to finance it, or there also grants from special funds you can apply for. There are lots of ways people find to finance movies though. I think when Aronofsky made Pi ($60,000), I believe he just asked for loans from him family

IN AN ANARCHOFASCIST STATE, OR IN A NATIONAL SOCIALIST STATE, THE NATIONAL CINEMA INSTITUTE WOULD FUND CINEMATIC PROJECTS FOR THOSE WHO REQUIRE IT.

But then everything would have to be made so as to not offend our glorious overlords.

That doesn't sound too much different

DO YOU EVEN KNOW IN WHAT DO ANARCHOFASCISM, OR NATIONAL SOCIALISM, CONSIST? I DO NOT THINK SO.

Well yeah but at least we have the option to do that right now.

El Mariachi was filmed for $7000. So was Primer. When it's something that you're passionate about, you find the money. You work shit jobs for shit money. You borrow. You ask for help from friends and family.

That's a must-watch for low-budget filmmakers, especially action filmmakers. Apparently Rodriguez left bloopers in just because he could save film that way. Nowadays, we don't necessarily need to worry about film, but that just means we can do as many takes as necessary to get the perfect shots.
