Description
Were you hoping work would pick back up after last year’s strikes? Unfortunately, work is epically slow, and 2024 is a rough year for the film industry. But just because Hollywood is slowing down, doesn’t mean you have to.
In today’s episode, No Film School’s Charles Haine, GG Hawkins, and Jason Hellerman discuss:
The industry post-strike
How higher interest rates are affecting streamers
The unpredictability of a career in film
Accepting the things out of your control
Living with family or friends to lower expenses
The unattainable “American Dream”
Staying creative during this slow year
How famine years can have their benefits
An example of finding career success outside of Hollywood
Memorable Quotes
“Work is epically slow and it’s terrifying.” [3:44]
“If you don’t have three months of cash cushion in your bank account, do not feel bad.” [19:40]
“I don’t think we need to build our identity on outside markers of financial success.” [28:21]
“If you can’t be investing money, you can be investing your energy and creativity into your future career.” [32:52]
