How many speeches did you write that you knew were total horseshit or political theater?

Move to a production city and know/meet someone who works in the business, join the union. You get hired based on relationships, at least that’s how it is in the camera department. Warning: even if you do know someone it’s still very difficult to land jobs because there are hundreds of other people competing for them. Half of my job is calling, texting and emailing my contacts for jobs or dayplays, it sucks because I feel like I’m constantly bothering people. It’s definitely a tough business to break into but worth it if you can succeed. Being single with no family helps because the hours and commitments are brutal but it pays very well with the overtime.
