When Kyle Loftis gave tips to somebody who wanted to start off an automobile career
Later in the interview, Kyle Loftis was asked how someone passionate about cars gets into filmmaking. The advice he had given was that the hardest part right now was that so many people were doing it. One has to find a niche that sets one apart from others if one wants to build a large audience. In his words:
“Otherwise you really go and do something that you like because you like it. Don’t chase the money because when you chase the money it’s just going to ruin the fun. There is no money in it for years, unless you find some magic ingredient that’s like your personality is unique. If you are super entertaining or if you find some sort of format. Umm, you just got to find that thing, that’s you, that’s natural. Don’t try to make it fake, you know.”
