Here is a little bit from a man who says it all. He's talking in his book about how he made is first feature. I do believe this is everything it takes and more.
"When the rubber meets the road like this, most intelligent folks give up. Everyone has a comfort level they don’t want to drop below, myself included. Making a feature film, especially your first one, requires a major life-decision. Are you willing to give up everything for your dream? I mean, really? You could destroy your life and all your important relationships in the process. Are you prepared to fight for your film as if it were the life of your own child? You’ll fight battles you never expected with distasteful people you’ve never met. Believe me, YOU are the one who’ll make all the real sacrifices. Ultimately, you’re all alone. You must feel this passionate desire deep inside and be willing to make the commitment - otherwise I guarantee you’ll fail."

This is a mystifying career choice only the best can overcome.
