Want to be the next Stephen King; but currently work in a grocery store

My dream is to be a machinematographer using a game called Star Citizen as a teaching tool, with entertainment, for the next generation & as a form of cultural iconography. To function as a zeitgeist in the road, and without selling out to the one-eyed club. True science fiction, the best of which involves the dialogue, & the set and setting and context. So movie making, basically, but without having to hire an army of animators or film crews, etc. etc. just some great cameramen, as the players act and role play and in the context of emergent gameplay as well, along with a ton of humor.

Win a generation over with something novel that they maybe haven't seen before, and that's powerful. It's what the establishment Hollywood & music industry understand, but they're kinda gross now and everyone knows it. Plus they have no new ideas. It's all formula and a bit of a hoodwink, with a bunch of advertising. They seem to assume that the whole public is brainwashed and stupid.

It will form the brunt of ridicule in the world I hope to one day create or participate in helping to create.

And I have another idea for an internet product to fund it all.

Plan on getting a few months to work on it, maybe get it rolling, but even if it doesn't happen, the dream itself is like a hobby to me, and if I don't stop thinking about it then eventually it will almost have to become true.

What I liked about the OP is that he wanted to be the next Stephen King, and since Stephen King, while ok at times, basically writes "the equivalent of a burger and fries at McDonalds", self-admittedly. He's a member of the "one-eyed club" but I say you do NOT have to be, to make it big these days. Babylon is fallen the gap is wide.
