WWAW working in Hollywood?

[Stent]

Suck a few random dicks in your home town before committing to the move. See if it's for you.

I worked in tv / film production about 15 years ago but it looks like much hasn’t changed. I started in FL doing reality tv production on a couple shows and freelance stuff (commercials, music videos, etc) and got a job in Los Angeles for Bunim/Murray productions to work on their shows.

It’s an interesting job and can be fun but it’s also tough since you’re pretty much always looking for your next show / production. You’ll be on something for a month or maybe 6 months if you’re lucky and can make the right connections so you get the calls for more work. I liked doing it but I couldn’t do it forever because it’s just not stable and there’s some very long days involved if you’re in the field / on set (16 hour days are common since most jobs you’re paid per day, not by hour) but I still have friends in the industry and they’re doing pretty well (one is an audio guy for a lot travel channel shows so he gets to go all around, one works with the Rock pretty often, one is a writer on American Dad, etc)

Luckily I only had an associates degree in film / tv while my major is business related which is why I now have a great paying stable job with a major company. I went to college with guys that went for a major in film / tv and they couldn’t get shit after college since it’s very tough to even break in and ended up with shit jobs since film / tv can only get you so many jobs.

I made some movie props and was an extra in a few (which fucking sucked and was not worth it)

Listen, sport, only the jews get ahead. I'm not even Jewish but I claimed I was to get better roles. They bought it, made me a beloved pop culture icon and legend of the stage and screen, but then when I died I was buried in a kike cemetery with a star of David on my tombstone and now I can't get into heaven.

You're better off trying to work "in Hollywood" anywhere other than Hollywood. Every dumb faggot retard moves to Hollywood to try this, and you have more worth and are way more competitive in any other region that contributes to the industry.

Yep, there are plenty of opportunities in New Mexico, Louisiana, and Georgia.

I love cinema and have taken tours of the studios, so by Tomlinson/Cumia standards I'm an expert.

One thing that stuck out to me was how all the cars in the employee section were complete shit boxes. The people doing all the real work make no money. If you don't care about that, go for it. Also California kind of sucks.

And that's after being part of S.A.G frightening to think how they'd be living without the Union Child

Also Florida, I have some camera op friends that have been busy for years just working in Florida.

I'm a Hollywood bigwig

He absolutely needs to offer his condolences for Sibby the next time he sees him.

I can’t believe I had to scroll down 5 comments to see this comment. Add in wealthy parents who can foot the bill for your lifestyle while you “make it.” You really can’t live in LA if you don’t have money and if you have a job then you don’t have as much time. This is a big reason there’s so many shit comics working today as well.

Almost anybody in entertainment I look up these days on wiki has some sort of family connection to the business or came from wealth. I know that's always been a thing to some degree but it seems worse now.

I know a lot of people who work in the movie industry and I see a lot of stuff being made in my local area too as it's pretty and near a lot of the major UK studios which are used for a lot of the big budget films like bond, star wars, Bridgerton that you series was shot nearby recently etc

The day to day slow grind of making a film looks fucking boring. Days of filming and set up and even longer to prop making and location building planning etc for something that's 30 seconds on screen

You're in Bucks? I always thought you were from the Midlands for some reason

My friend is a gaffer with some production he refuses to tell me the name of. The most interesting thing I've ever heard about his job is "Elizabeth Olsen is pretty cool", which was nice.

I have two homes. One up north one down south. More Berkshire/Surrey than Buckinghamshire. My area gets used a lot as it's no more than a hour away from almost all the big studios

Aha, I assumed you were talking about Pinewood

Pinewood uses the area a fair bit it's not far away
