How to Make it in Los Angeles (an unconventional analysis)

Ойын-сауық

After hitting a creative roadblock, a burnt-out KZreadr goes on a journey of self-discovery to find out what it takes to really "make it" in #LOSANGELES, guided by his shady business manager and a famous psychologist from the skies.

    Wow this video is exactly what I needed to ponder. I'm 29 years old and did the traditional college path, only to drop out when the pandemic started because I was making good choices, but they weren't the right choices for me and led me into a deep depression. I got involved in a little bit of local filmmaking and always dreamed of "making it in LA" so to speak. I even recently just finished a semester of film school, but I'm hitting a dead end: I know I love filmmaking, but I realize it comes with 10+ hour shifts five days a week. Yes, I love the film industry, but I also want time for my personal life outside of my career passion and I don't know if there's a way to have both. I have a good savings account and could move to LA if I wanted to, I just don't have a career plan. I really need to ponder what "making it in LA" means to me and how I can achieve that. Any advice?

    go for what you love and keep improving your craft on the side, film school can only teach you so much so just keep practicing and find what it is exactly you want to do in film! for me, after making so many YT vids - the writing part has become my favorite. Network in LA, take classes, join groups and you’ll find your way!

    Many Thanks Michael! Glad to see your road is opening up again...I've been watching your stuff researching for my upcoming trip to LA (July 29-Aug.2) a quick 4 nights/5days. Your wisdom has saved me a lot of time and will enrich my moments. A music/history pilgrimage/first time as an adult in LA. Laurel Cyn, Sunset Strip haunts, Polo Lounge, Dan Tana's, Bob Dylan/Willie Nelson at Hollywood Bowl, A Troubadour gig, capped off with a visit to SRF Lake Shrine and a day walking Point Dume, dinner at Geoffrey's Malibu and back on the evening flight home to Vancouver, BC. I'll raise an iced coffee in your honor! peace and all the best, Dan

    Love the part of "love and belonging". I moved from Spain to Utah 16 years ago and that's a very important part when moving by yourself to a new place , especially a new big city like Los Ángeles. I truly enjoy your videos and how you have a different "vision" than many LA KZreadrs. BTW , if I ever see you in LA , coffee , vegan Mexican or an Erewhom smoothie is on me .
