Thoughts: Labor Issues

An interesting post about the current state of things in this lovely entertainment industry I work in.

Hollywood Labor News


I honestly haven't really been following what's been going on the last few weeks. I went on vacation and basically turned my brain off. All I know is that things are still really slow out here. So many people I know are unemployed with no real leads on anything. I do keep hearing "I might have something in a few weeks" which is encouraging but not. There's optimism I guess but also a lot of frustration.

I at least have an offer to go back to my old job at ANTM. I was hoping to be able to move on to something new but hey, it's not a bad gig and it's a job. It's nice to have something.

The Wait and See game is continuing. I hope this nonsense get figured out soon. I just want to work.

About This Thing

This blog is about film and life in the wonderful world of LA. I'm a filmmaker just getting started; I'm navigating my way through the industry, trying to find work, and sometimes even managing to make a living.

I've worked across the country on projects big and small. Everything from an indie in PA shot during the dead of winter to one of the bigger reality shows involving Models and the things they do.

I also just love doing things*. I'm a writer, aspiring director, wannabe photographer and cook. I waste too much time on the internet and sometimes all I want to do is hang out with my dog.

Stick around and chances are you'll catch me writing about it all.

*I use the word "thing" a lot. An inappropriate amount. I can't help it. There are just so many different things to talk about. And I just kind of like it.
