Flimmaking Stresses

 I think I am realizing that I am terrified of trying new things.

In the film course I'm enrolled in this year, we have to make an 8(ish) minute short film by the end of this month/term. This means that we have to find actors, locations, props, and possibly crew members all on our own. I, foolishly, decided to wait until our prof began to tell us more about how to go about doing this. I assumed she'd do so at the beginning of January, but when that didn't happen, I approached her about it at the end of January and she basically said we should be started on it already. She's rather unorganized. So, I have been trying to get actors. I wanted to be done by the official due date, February 27, but I'm fairly certain that won't happen. I have a few possible actors lined up, but I still need to find locations and just the thought of going up to whoever I need to to secure a place makes me want to just quit the course.

Why am I so afraid of a challenge? Why must I always be pushed before I can do anything?

I need to get my butt in gear if I'm even going to come close to finishing by the end of this month.
