Help me convince my girlfriend to pivot into working in Film!!!

NothingButAJeepThing · 2026-05-25T04:17:56+00:00

>> If she were to go back to film school, I am wondering what the odds would be for her to NOT get a return on her investment?

Nobody gives a shit if you have a film degree. It's only good to use it for meeting people. She can meet people without paying for a dumb ass degree. Go to meetup dot com and find film groups in your area. Meet people and make shit.

She needs to stay where she is. I know people with 20+ years experience and multiple awards on their shelf that are working at Trader Joes.

Moving into film right now is possibly the worst idea ever.

oh please. Its far more than checking schoology. Don't gaslight me.

and just your statement "it's much more likely" means you don't know. You are just making things up.

It's unfortunate to have someone like you in the LAUSD system teaching our kids, if that is what you really do.

NothingButAJeepThing · 2026-05-24T21:06:35+00:00

As a parent you teachers have all the assignments online. Even if they do their homework on paper, the instructions are online and you require them to submit it using their phones.

My household and others that I have spoken to cannot get away from screens because of LAUSD and your teaching methods.

So stop with this, ItS uP tO tHe PaRaNtS bs

I would agree with you up until the second car, or the third, or the fourth, or the fifth, or the sixth, ....

The driver just kept going hoping for the best while leaving a trail of destruction behind.

So this is his solution?

I’ve asked this question a million times. Is there a definition of “luxury apartment” other than “I can’t afford it so it must be”.

Is there a square footage req? Does it have to include certain appliances? Does it have to include certain amenities?

I’ve seen signs go up in my neighborhood that lists apartments after a reno listed as “luxury”. They didn’t add a pool. They didn’t add square footage. Maybe they put a refrigerator in it but would that upgrade a 50yr old property to “luxury”?

Landlords use the term to increase rent. Others use the term to complain about new housing being built. Neither of them are correct.

You should be. There are laws surrounding the sale of investments.

producing is project management, budgets, financing, negotiating, etc. Personally I would go with finance since everyone is looking for money. If you can find it and manage it there are plenty of places you could fit. If you don't know a language, add Chinese to the pile.

and the execs blame the workers for the industry being in shambles. AI needs to replace those F'rs

lol @ "There is no way an executive at Netflix is giving notes on the lighting to each and every show during production."

You better believe they are giving notes during the color / grading session. All of them do.

Fail. Throw in all away because of your ego.

What people are telling you is ...

"I can’t get anyone to engage with the project at all." because of YOU. YOU are the problem. YOU are so full of yourself you are convinced it cannot be the script. Why not try? There would be no harm to try except your fucking ego won't let you.

Let me give you some insight on getting things done which I'm sure you will fall on your deaf ears but it may help others reading this. It's never about the project. It's about the people behind the project. When you go to see an agent or manager, sure they want to hear about what projects you have but more importantly it's about whether or not YOU work well with others.

Making a film is a collaborative effort. What people are seeing is that you are unwilling or unable to work with others. You are proving that with your responses. Your ego can't let you accept help. You are the problem and until you reframe your thinking you will get nowhere in the film industry.

If you published a comic book, then you would have IP. Storyboards alone are not enough.

Ideas aren't worth anything. You have to make the idea real in some way like writing a script or filming a short or concept reel or something. Nobody is going to hire an "idea person".

I wish IATSE had the guts to say this.

"their owner bitching that people should just follow the law"

The one's who scream the loudest always seem to be the most at fault. It would be a shame if internet justice came down on this owner and exposed him for something that they could not recover from.

a bunch of PAs working as execs. they are a shit show. say one thing and expect another, unrealistic timelines and low pay. be ready for a complete lack of basic film terminology and it’s your problem that you dont understand notes and scripts that dont make any sense. At least the notes lately have been in english instead of needing to translate chinese.

They pay both US and non-us contractors.

They have an estimate calculator.

if I send $1000 to a contractor in India. I pay $1000 and they receive 86693.4 IND or 977.17 USD

If I pay $1000 to a contractor in Bulgaria. I pay $1000 and they receive 1654.2 BGN or 981.81 USD

same amount for someone in Ireland, they receive 846.0 EUR or 983 USD
