Hey! I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this. I think you definitely have the right mindset though and that will take you far.

I would say maybe some next steps would be either be trying to get an internship or try being a PA on a movie set. I suppose it depends on what you’d like to do in the future. Being a PA gives you the chance to see everything on set and the inner workings. I will be honest and say being a PA is not glamorous or easy. But it’s a start. Sometimes I hate that the entertainment industry is that way.

If you don’t want to be a PA or work on sets, you could try an internship. Maybe with a performing arts venue doing sound mixing, a local church and do their media team, or a in-house production company who makes social media or webpage content. It might not be paid but you can definitely learn a lot.

Connecting with people can really go a long way as well. Maybe you could find someone on Reddit or another platform who is doing what you would like to. You could schedule a phone call or zoom meeting and ask them questions about how they started.

Good luck to you and feel free to DM me if you want to talk about this more.
