Absolutely. It's much easier to get started in movies these days, with inexpensive HD cameras, editing/compositing software, HQ sound resources, etc. Youtube, Vimeo etc make it a cinch to get your work out there. The facilities exist now that were undreamed of only a decade ago. You could easily put together a shot-for-shot remake of Star Wars in your own living room - hell, lots of people have done almost exactly that. I'm musing about doing an original James Bond story I've come up with.
Going in a slightly different direction, there's a guy going by the name Batmanmarch who has made whole series of original stop-motion Doctor Who stories, mainly but not exclusively Paul McGann 8th Doctor adventures, with himself and friends as voice cast, licensed action figures as miniatures and purpose-built, freely available sets. I don't get commission from this but I urge you to check him out. (He's done some Batman stuff as well, but I don't hold that against him.)

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
