I'm not in any movie or production work.Just a retiree.I just make clips here on you tube for fun.But Since my daughter got a small part on an up come TV show on Netflex I have become interest in the working behind film and TV.Maybe it can be a new hobby for me to see who what and how these things work.I know it seems to be getting harder and harder in all endeavorers with Our economy seeming to be getting ready to implode.I think I will start to take note on the people in this industry.

Brilliant! So relevant to my current shift of being an indie UPM/Line Producer to being a Producer.

On point..! 🔥 This is a recurring issue faced by creatives & can be a hard lesson to learn.. 💯💯💯 3:27 & 3:47 onwards are my fav bits, especially the 12x14ft painting analogy.. 🎯 - @Acharich

There is something bigger you are here to do so perhaps is time to figure it out and start searching for your higher purpose in life doing what you would love.
