Is your view of the film industry realistic or romantic?
@PurpleFistPictures

Both. I know there's a massive amount of work that goes into any production, but the just the thought of being part of a production in general is romantic to me. The idea of putting out a product that will be enjoyed by many is just plain romantic.

It's a gypsy lifestyle. Do a movie and make a chunk of change, then your unemployed until your next gig. Have to do a lot of networking and have a lot of contacts and constantly keep in touch with them and try to line up one job after the other. It's truly a feast or famine business.

Thank you so much for being realistic and just blunt to me. I've romanticized being in this industry and have pushed away all the concerns and now entering my 2nd year of college and looking for internships I finally realized how tough it is to find work especially comparing to my friends who are able to find internships left and right in their respective majors. Film will always be a part of me but its time to be realistic and have a safety major where I will have a stable career that also allows me to be near the industry.

You are providing a desperately needed service by people who couldn’t do their jobs without you so why don’t you all form a union so that you have stability to have a family and life that rewards you for the hard work that you do? People have got to demand that they are treated as the professionals that you are! Why do we allow the rich people to treat us like this? This makes me so angry to see how hard people work and then be treated like they are beggars just because we do an untraditional job? They need to provide wages that compensate for the irregular hours with rest periods and time off as well as full benefits. You will age out before a person with stability and you only have your health until you don’t and then they forget about you.

I was talking with a Uber Driver and I told him that I'm doing a degree in film, but I don't know if when I finish will help me to find a job. He say to me " You don't go to the film school because you want to find a job, studying film is something else, above money" This comment from the Uber driver has changed my life, and helped my to motivate my self and porsue my dreams. I'm not rich and of course I need to work in order to survive, but what keeps me going is that for me is more important to leave something behind when I will be gone, something that will make the world a bit better. So my advice is, if you are looking to build a normal life and have a salary don't choose film industry, do something else. ✌️

Have heard others who have had deep conversations with rideshare drivers or while standing in line at the grocery store. Sometimes hearing advice from "strangers" is the best since they have no vested interest in getting you to do something. Maybe you can make a movie about it! :) Appreciate you watching the video. Thanks again and hope everything turns out well.

@@roastme2079 What I've found is that a lot of people who pursue filmmaking as an artist (director, writer, dp etc) think that they have a special talent for their interest in filmmaking. They think that it'll all work out for them because they managed to land in Hollywood and they're gonna be the next Spielberg or Lucas. But when they are confronted with the hard questions, like who are they as an artist, do they even have a voice, how do they plan on networking, etc, they draw a blank. They think, ehhh it'll just happen for them and work out. No worries. And then reality sets in that they have to support themselves and they come to realize that actually their wacky idea about alien frogs invading their hometown isn't going to get them into any festivals, and maybe somehow they find out from their wanna be agent assistant friend that there are parties they have to go to, but not certain ones, and you have to know how to schmooze. All that alone is enough to deter a lot of people. Truth is that many if not most artists are, like, effected by the time they manage to even land some form of representation, agent, lawyer etc. Sad thing is that many if most of them trying to get noticed in hollywood think that once they've landed an agent, that they're on easy street, but then they find out eventually that not all agents have the same ability to get them work, or maybe don't even have any ability at all. All the while, they stop focusing on making new projects to sell and maybe even networking and they wonder why they aren't getting anywhere. My advice is to become fantastic at schmoozing and networking, which is a talent in and of itself, and to have a laser focus on your desired craft. Without that focus, you're not going to reach your potential as an artist ever while simultaneously managing to land work.

What he said was lacking and doesn't apply to everyone. Very talented people might find that they are always in demand while someone talented, gifted maybe even might find themselves hard up for work for a variety of reasons, typically those have to do with the state of their relationships. What he didn't mention is that that town is all about who you know, meaning that it's mostly about your connections and then your ability to capitalize on them. One thing I appreciated about his explanation was how brutally competitive it is. If you can't handle ridiculous competition, then you should not invest any of your time unless you can be satisfied working without any recognition of renown ever. Most people leave entertainment because they cannot endure the sheer isolation coming from lack of support, the lack of certainty and competitiveness. The first thing alone can take a lot out of anyone, famous and successful or not.

It's true that the dream will being working in a banger film, BUT the beauty of arts is that you can always start on your own. Quite hard to motivate yourself and feel balanced between perfect craft and just good enough, but legit you can buy your own camera, lighting, and audio equipment and start your own. I think it'll be great to do it as a side, but as a freshman who's full sending in film and audio engineering degrees and occupations, I accepted that life is meant to have fun responsibly. Sometimes, the work without the label and stress is worth more than having it as a main occupation. I ended up developing the view of life as a bunch of side quests meant to be accomplished lol.

@ghost robles LA is like Kings Landing in GOT--the people around you are always scheming, and (unless you are surrounded by a really trustworthy crew, which is rare) getting stabbed in the back is just a normal thing. In addition to this, it's uber competitive--there's a ton of money to be made, and people hunger for imagination and creativity they can profit off of like sharks hungry for blood. You have to be careful who you throw an idea to, because they might take it and run with it. There's a consistent expectation that you stay late and sacrifice everything to achieve--a constant push to be the best no matter the cost. To work 15 hour days 6 days a week no matter what. To keep pumping out content endlessly, giving little regard to substance. LA doesn't produce art, it produces content. It's a massive factory, and whether you're a director, producer, writer, editor, actor--you are just a cog in a massive money making machine. If you're there by yourself, like I was, it's hard to make friends you can really trust, and even harder to make friends outside of the industry. People just don't know how to be fully developed, emotionally vulnerable humans there because you can't be--you'll get taken advantage of at every turn. There is a false image LA tries to present itself as--a city with roads paved in gold, that's laid back and carefree--but the truth is the entertainment industry needs desperate young labor to keep the machine running.

The best thing I ever did after graduating university (engineering) was to take the time to enroll in a financial literacy class. The way most of us are taught about money, the habits we learn from our parents, friends and media, are incredibly detrimental to our financial situations most times. There’s a reason why the rich get richer. They know how to play with money and they teach it to their kids. I was surprised at how little it takes to start on the journey to financial freedom even (especially?) in my twenties.

@@adershgr hi. I’m in Kenya and it was a Kenyan course, but I think you can find one anywhere in the world if you search for it. I started out reading financial literacy books before taking the course. The book that came closest to what I learnt in my course was “The Barefoot Investor”. It was written with an Australian audience in mind, but the guidelines in it can be used in different country contexts when extrapolated.

If the ratio between making and earning is greater than 40:60....production companies should have reasonable days to shoot. It will help to make better product.

The entertainment industry is a joke. You make absolutely no money or you make too much. There is no steady paycheck at a reasonable pay rate growth.

U get a steady pay check for steady working. As a director, you cant expect to get paid unless you’re working on a film. It’s like asking for paycheck from a job you dont work at anymore.

Move to a city, get a job as an office runner in a big time agency and then get to be an assistant agent during this time build up your own list of 'clients'. When the time comes become an agent and represent your clients. Get it in your contract that you can have full control over the actors you sign then bam you are an agent.

It's not worth it. If you have a skill you don't necessarily have to do it in the film industry. I'm a painter who worked iatse sets, which was good for a while but when COVID happened I left because I could do it elsewhere. But if you go into set decorating or other departments that aren't transferable, you are stuck.
