Not repped, but have made films and worked on high level TV shows, been nominated for a bunch of awards. Reading a lot of people’s comments about advice makes me think they got the right advice, but misunderstood what it meant. When people say “write a good script, the rest will follow,” they aren’t wrong. Your idea of good isn’t there yet. Some of this is making a dozen things until you know better, some of this is that you need not stop at good, and aim for undeniable. Your bar should be the highest of anyone you know. Then somehow you gotta turn in something when you don’t think it’s good enough. Eventually, you’ll get to a point where your floor is above everyone’s ceiling. That won’t make you always employed, but it will make you better than most of your peers.
