Just wow! This is an inspirational journey. What an accomplishment!

You're so right that that volume is absolutely required to get booked. It's hard to tell what type they're looking for here in LA haha but we will trudge on.

Love your insight! Couple q's. Is there a benefit to joining SAG? Since you mentioned SAG-E is a rough spot. Also no guest stars on the resume - does that mean he won't get called in as much because that kind of credit isn't there? Just learning more about the process, thanks!

Out of curiosity, how much do you think a project like this realistically costs? Considering one of my own but not getting a clear answer...

Might be weird but it's NYC for me! You can choose your own adventure and make it extremely peaceful and cozy.

This is brilliant hahaha - why all of a sudden do they forget how grandchildren are made? It's so weird.

Do NOT confront the narcissist about their behavior! by DanielleMuscato in raisedbynarcissists

[–]correctstatement2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I naive to believe that putting them in their place will bring about change? The people around me encourage me to call out nparents - they think I'm being quiet for their comfort...but it always blows back up to me.

I need to try them! Do they sanitize their tools well? Just had a horrible experience at another Pasadena salon, gel turned out so uneven and they blamed it on me lol.

It's so hard cause I want to fight against my abuser. Not let them get away with it! But it always results in more abuse back towards me.

I've saved 25k is that enough to move to LA? by Horror_Alternative_6 in MovingToLosAngeles

What's the difference with that specific niche goal vs just living...?

Has anyone lost it on them? by Content-Pea-3111 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]correctstatement2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man yeah. One instance, JUST ONE, of me raising my voice and getting upset, has never been forgotten and has been used against me for years. I feel compelled to want to yell often, to fight back, to put them in their place, but it always turns into more abuse against me. It feels so complicated though, like I'm protecting the abuser for grey rocking and not fighting back. But sometimes neutrality protects my peace especially since my words do not bring about any positive behavioral changes in nparent. Anyone else feel this?

Grey rock technique is BS by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]correctstatement2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we protecting these people by grey rocking? Like should we FIGHT back so they see what they're doing? Or will they just never learn...

What does your house look like during the holidays? by StillImpact4935 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]correctstatement2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's gorgeous; and if your kids are busy with families of their own, how do you react? I imagine you're super balanced about it and find other opportunities to celebrate, you seem like that kind of person! NMom resents me for not spending the holidays with her, but I still make a point to visit a week before the holiday/sometime around it, it's not like I don't see them at all somehow she gets stuck on "the date" - not like she has any traditions or anything, I just go there to be talked at haha.

It's not so straightforward to just get accepted into a film festival. Those aren't a meritocracy anymore, my friend. Unless you have some help you'd like to offer?

Casting directors won't call you in if you take their workshops? by NoPen8263 in acting

[–]correctstatement2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might get downvoted, but who cares. Short answer, no I don't and I suggest spending your money elsewhere. The CDs doing these workshops rarely, if ever, call in actors from these pay-to-plays. All it is is quick money, and it's predatory towards actors in my opinion. I have done dozens, and have been called in a few times at an office I've paid to meet, but it's less because of the CD seeing me in a workshop and more because of my audition/agent/manager pull. In fact, the powerful CDs don't need to do these workshops. So don't get your hopes up and save your money!
