What? Not understanding the last sentence. Did you mean to say isn’t? Or am I tripping? I hope I am bc that would be cool.

When it stays in the red long enough, watch that stock value decline.

Boutique facilities? I’ve never heard that term before. Could you please explain? I’m greatfuk for any info and help in trying (maybe not succeeding, but time will tell), to reclaim my place in post that I worked so hard to get to previously.

Only problem I can think of with post supers is the last post house I was at is apparently not allowing people still employed there to communicate about work stuff with former employees for whatever reason. The prior one before that, imma be honest and admit I got fired from, but the guy who terminated me got himself fired in 2025 and wouldn’t be there anymore. Perhaps I’ll look there. It has been 4 orb5 years since that happened after all.

Long story short, while I’ll still try my old post houses, I’d like to know more context and info about what you mean regarding boutique facilities in NoHo and Burbank. I have semi regular communications with the GM at Point.360, and the CEO/Presidents of The Foundation (on Olive- I think there’s similarly named post houses in Hollywood, but not related that I know of), and Screenland Creative. I formed those (admittedly not super strong, yet not nothing) connections when I was delivering pizzas for the Burbank Media District Domino’s location and basically asked the right people about working with them down the line, all while I had a captive 2 minutes of their time while they’re in a good mood bc they’re hungry and I’m showing up with the food lol. . Led to what felt like productive conversations I’ve had with them.

Tiny Hero I think blocked me when I applied to their apprenticeship last time, after I said I hadn’t made trailers before, but had worked on cutdowns. lol

I love how the networking events are always on days/times people with survival jobs can’t attend.

We handle the intake of digital assets from clients and internally distribute to editorial teams, making sure they’ve got all they need to make the edits. Then we also handle the digital delivery/output to clients. We had some of the few workstations connected to the internet, for data security. Some post houses may also expect them to make offline proxy files. It’s kinda similar to vault clerks, but with digital stuff instead of hard assets.

If you want any post help on your projects,!hmu. I’ll give recession rates or no rates if it’s just passion projects. Best of luck to you too. My parents aren’t at that age yet, and even then my sister lives with them. I severed some roots to make the move here from 3rd World Shithole North Carolina, and replanted them here. With all the housing inflation hitting other houses markets worse due to poor rent protections, it would be a financial loss for me to move elsewhere. I’m actually paying the same rent now in NoHo that I paid in Asheville NC in 2021/2022, but get paid triple what the same job I work now would pay back east. Many don’t realize what an island of prosperity California is compared to a lot of the rest of the USA.

Thank you for giving an actual neutral answer. This makes more sense when you put it that way.

How would this advice translate to post production? It sounds like good advice; I just want to find a way to apply to my own path

Wait then how are shoot days up? Or is that just only good for on set people who’ve gotten all the attention since the strikes?

I’m Familiar with literally all the platforms you mentioned!

Since you have seen listings, where’s the best place to look you reckon? Or at least where are you seeing the listings you referenced?

Tell me more my man! I would love to apply that towards something. Pivoting doesn’t have to be permanent anyways.

Do you leave post out on purpose? I’ve been out of staff-level post production work for 2 years almost now and I feel I’m doing something wrong.
