✎ In this video, Evan Carmichael explores the top ten rules for success from Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, known for his visionary work in movies like Pan's Labyrinth and *The Shape of Water*. Del Toro shares insights on how his passion for storytelling and love for monsters shaped his career. From his early days of lucid dreaming and fascination with the dark side of life, he highlights how embracing one's unique perspective and being authentic in your craft is crucial for success. For del Toro, the greatest satisfaction in life comes from creating something deeply personal and meaningful, regardless of financial success or mainstream appeal.

Evan dives into the valuable lessons from del Toro's experiences, emphasizing the importance of pursuing projects that resonate with your own values. Guillermo’s approach to filmmaking revolves around the idea of sticking to your artistic vision, even when it means facing rejection or financial struggles. His dedication to creating work that speaks to his true self rather than trying to appeal to a broad audience has been a key factor in his success. Del Toro’s insistence on "failing on your own terms" and protecting crucial images in his films, like the girl with the red shoes in *Pacific Rim*, demonstrates his unwavering commitment to his art.

Throughout the video, Evan encourages viewers to find their own unique voice, as del Toro did in his career, by being true to themselves and embracing the challenges that come with the creative process. Del Toro also stresses the importance of studying film history and not getting caught up in the commercial side of the industry. For aspiring filmmakers, his message is clear: stick to your passion, work tirelessly, and create from a place of sincerity. Success, for del Toro, is about the connection you make with your audience and the joy you find in bringing your vision to life.
