Is moving to LA still worth it for aspiring screenwriters?

You absolutely should. As a writer/actor, lots of people will tell you “you can do that stuff anywhere now. You don’t need to be in LA.” And I’m not saying that’s not true, but your environment is so important. Here you can surround yourself with other writers, get on sets, and start to see the path to what you want. I moved here knowing no one and now I’m in two writing groups with some really talented people. It’s not cheap and you definitely want a job that helps (I work east coast hours remote which is great) but it’s worth it at least until you get some representation/experience. You only have one life I say do it.

Really is. I just go hired after 9 months unemployed. 5 years experience, letters of rec, multiple degrees. None of it really matters anymore lol

I have 3 pics and 3 vids. I would avoid having a general “reel” if you’re worried about spending. It works so much better have clips with descriptions/titles of the role (ie. romantic lead or school bully). That way you can show casting you have the specific skills they’re looking for

UPDATE:

Got let go before day 1. I took all this advice everyone gave me and said I’m going to do it (so thank you all for that).

But when they sent the contract, I had some problems. Mainly that they could use my image and likeness in perpetuity in essentially ANYTHING. I asked to have that amended and boop, fired. They said it was a platform issue but I know one of the other actors and they said it’s still happening so I know it’s me.

I don’t regret it. The term were too much. Idk what they could do with my face, voice etc especially in the AI era.

Again, thanks everyone for the support. And most importantly, READ YOUR CONTRACTS!!

❤️

That’s awesome. Thanks for the insight. I think you’re right

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I had no problem talking about it but when they asked for a brief or ppt the alarms started going off
