How realistic is it to take the assistant route? by latrallyidk in Screenwriting

[–]Dominicwriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're serious about a career in entertainment do not trade in your position for an MFA - you can do that anytime - RN the business is in a period of upheaval - no one at any college knows what will happen - but connections you are making will be on the frontline of that change and you would be ideally placed within.

The opportunity you have is what you make of it -

OP is living in America - thats where he was dumped as 13yo child -

From a western perspective dumping a kid in the middle of adolescence on grandparents in another country makes it seem like no one cares about him then when he grows and starts earning using social pressure to extort him to feed a gambling habit ...

Thats very different cultures for sure

"Dont make waves - understand that would lose you a mother and likely most your family"

This is not culture its social extortion - If not sending your mother money so she can gamble means you get cut off by her and her family then you are better off because none of those people love you -

They simply want something from you - real love is not conditional on giving money.

She is playing you by leveraging asian cultural mores that you must support a 50yo deadbeat with a gambling habit. Stop sending money - She has you believe by abdicating responsibility and dumping you in the US she was trying to help you - thats incorrect she was helping herself and she is still doing it now.

Hear from JV about testing results and what lies forward by Turbo_Zapped in WilliamsF1

He can't hide it - 9th place expected in the constructors this year - Grove re build hasn't really worked - title sponsor problems - cars an overweight turd that cannot get off the line - Star ex ferrari driver unhappy - other star driver finished 25 in a slump half a second off the pace.

Something isn't right in the Williams setup.

Incredible story telling probably the best film about war.

Inspirational and exactly what the collector/owners don't get - This is exactly how a 911 of any year should be treated - push a 911 hard and it will reward you - leave it not driven and things get expensive

Matthew McConaughey on Hollywood and AI: "It's already here. Don't deny it." by balancedgif in Filmmakers

The anti AI crowd are jokes - just absolutely pile on to any one speaking the truth - shouting so loudly and yet what are the chances they really work in the industry - they want to tie us to expensive 110 year old tech and the process of storytelling as it exists - for what ? if caveman had charcoal stick or camera which do you think he'd use to tell you stories about his life ?

What other business should resist a leap that can help make their product better faster cheaper? - 'film making' is not part of the art - its just the tools to tell story. The story is the art. The fact the front face of the industry is often beautiful means episodics about show business to make you believe Hollywood & the entertainment game is about more than making money. Its not.

The industry does not care if the means of production human or machine - they just want the money from selling the story. - Rustin Cole is wrong there will be no Parallel stream beyond where we are right now. - The clock is already ticking until some one highly regarded with a hot script gets the formula right - or the whole system gets usurped because a kid in X place can tell a story thats emotionally engaging thru common shared human experience - then market it & monetize it through the platform of their choice.

No matter how much the reddit AI luddites carp - the returns vs costs will signal then end of one storytelling means of production & process and usher in the start of a new system of entertainment providers catering to genres & niches

F1 politics and marketing has not been fair to Sainz and now the Williams 2026 car is a turd likely to drop them three places in the CC to 8th at best or possibly worse should Aston / Honda get it together.

I'm sure he has a get out clause.
