Believe me, it is not a matter of not wanting to but a matter of personal circumstances beyond my control. Due to reasons I don't care to explain, I am unable to move currently. I just had to vent.ĮDIT: No I am not in LA or NYC. No one ever talks about what happens when you do try and still get nowhere. Hell I'd be over the moon to even get coffee for people. I honestly wouldn't even care if I was making any progress whatsoever. Yes I know a career isn't a way to define yourself. Yet everyday I have to go to a retail job I DETEST to pay the bills and try to keep going. And continually applying for jobs only to be told no is emotionally destroying me. I'm just never picked.Įveryone always wants to tell you "keep trying!" "You're time is coming I know it!" But I don't think it is. I have had my resume looked over and always have been told my interviews were great. I have done the volunteer work, the unpaid internships, the networking- all of it. I have been trying to break into the field for over 10 years now with no success. However I just recieved word that they went in another direction. This comes off the heals of a job interview that I thought went really, really well. I'm even one of the very first film school graduates in my state. I worked hard at school and did everything I was supposed to do. I have known ever since before I can remember what I wanted to do with my life, be involved in film. In this spirit we encourage detailed and insightful posts, comments, and discussions on the Cinema Arts. This is a place to learn from and share with professionals.

Outline your involvement in the project and provide some insight on how it was made. If sharing your work and not seeking advice, your post must serve an educational purpose for the rest of the community. It may also help if you provide some of your own thoughts on your work, such as what you see as your strengths or areas of improvement and why. There are many aspects to filmmaking, so specifying what you want people to focus on will get you better results than simply asking for general feedback. If you are seeking advice or feedback, explain what it is you need help with, whether that's lighting, cinematography, audio, editing, or something else entirely.
