Re: Need help...

I suggest you make fake/spec car commercials yourself and develop a reel that you can send out. You may also want to look into a college or some sort of training program that can provide you with an educational base that you can refer to, both for your clients and yourself.

We don't know where you are located so specific advice differs as the market in Los Angeles is drastically different from say, Minnesota or south Georgia. My advice to folks your age, go to school. Getting a pro-level job at 19 is really hard, regardless of your capabilities. You might as well spend that time getting a degree, chasing girls, and using school equipment to learn everything you can (I was a lab assistant at my school's studio-very educational). While there, try to do internships with big companies set up through your school (mine was at CNN which turned into my first post-college job). Get a job at a local radio or tv station, even if it's just helping out for free. Eventually, you'll impress someone enough to get that big break and let you work your way up the ranks.

Or, you could write/produce/direct and incredible youtube film/series that gets you national acclaim and fat Hollywood development contract. Keep in mind, that course of action is kinda like playing the lottery professionally, which is why I say go to school and party, study, and chase chicks for a few years.
