Well I did see a therapist about it before, and he said to make the movie. I can go back if I should. But why is that people say I fantasize about making movies and don't do anything else? Just tonight, I just got back from going over a short film I made with the music composer, so I feel like I am doing more than just fantasizing, am I not?

Maybe. Could be busywork so you can say you're being a filmmaker. We have no idea.
It doesn't matter. Seeing a therapist one time doesn't count. You have serious issues that need extended therapy.
Ironpony, you do realise the cost of making a motion picture? What you can save will not make one the general public would pay to see.
It also needs to be released to cinemas all over the country. Who do you think is going to do that?
Where are you going to get the actors to appear in your film, and how are you going to pay them?
Please listen to your parents.
Wait, hold on! He said he wants to be a film director, not a film producer.
If he's taking courses in cinematography, as well as learning the trade, he should do OK, but OP, you're going to have to probably work your way up - maybe become an AD (assistant director) or 2nd AD before finally reaching the top at full-fledged director. Now as far as paying actors, etc. that's the producer's responsibility - the producer owns the project. I've dealt (and still deal) with the entertainment industry, as a voice over, and have some knowledge of how it works. I'm not gonna say that you'll be the next Scorsese or Spielberg, but if this is your ambition, follow it. Hell, Walt Disney's own parents wanted to have him committed to a mental institution! Had such happened, there'd be no Mickey Mouse!
OP, keep pursuing your passion. Forget what your parents think!
Well what I did with her was make verbal requests during foreplay and sex when I was dirty talking, which got her self conscious and made her feel uncomfortable and upset, which I completely did not mean to, it was not my intention to push her into being uncomfortable. But I didn't think that verbal requests were that bad, if they are, then I take full responsibility.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that you didn't stop after she started crying. And didn't you make her cry multiple times?
OP, that's unacceptable. If you do something that causes your girlfriend to cry (or she says she's uncomfortable), you need to stop immediately and not do it again. No exceptions. And it doesn't matter if it's just a verbal request.
She cried twice saying she felt she wasn't good enough to satisfy me she felt, or that I made her too self-conscious.
I don't remember saying I didn't stop, but I cannot find what I said exactly, so I don't know my exact wording to figure out what you may mean. I remember making her feel too self-conscious accidentally, making her cry both times, but didn't mean to, I was just trying to sexually awaken her more, in a good way, and that was my intention.
Yep I can do it, and if I don't get a high enough paying job, than I can come back, and it's better than nothing. How is keeping that money for the feature counter to getting into the industry though, as long as I could get other jobs in the industry?
It's not. I was saying that chucking the whole idea if you can't support yourself and continue ADDING to your savings for the feature is counter-productive. I get that is the ultimate goal, but it's cutting off your nose to spite your face to not go and learn and work in the industry where it's happening.

Lol. I'm guessing you don't know the history here.
OP lives at home with his parents so ya....he needs to care what they think.
He didn't do anything mean to make her cry. She felt stressed and some other issues of her own.
Absolutely wrong. See below.
