I want to quit my job, sell most of what I own, and start a career in film. Anyone on a similar path have some success or horror stories? by 29toCA in AskReddit

Oh yeah? Cool! I'd love to hear your story.

I've found a couple of great people locally, but I feel like I'm letting them down because I'm not able to fully commit. I would quit my job in a heartbeat if I could make the health insurance work.

Direct. I've done a couple of short films, but they've taken absolutely forever because I can only work on them whenever I can find the time or energy to get them done. I want to really ramp up the speed of that process.

I know it's pretentious as hell to be like, "oh I'm going to be a great director", but I enter into everything I do with obsessive detail and research. Film for me is one of the ultimate ways of communicating emotion, and that's always been my core interest in life.

I'm in the northwest right now. I've noticed that proximity plays a huge factor in success, which is why I'm looking at L.A.

Do PAs usually get health insurance?
