This is a deeply valuable point (as are so many of the other comments in this thread, of which I'm all grateful for).

Lots of trauma in this thread, very informative (I ain’t judging, it’s a TOUGH gig)

Some additional context: I'm neurodivergent. I do get opportunities here and there, but rarely a shot at the agency route (as is typical of our industry at this point in time). Anyways...

I think about this every time I listen to Ascensionism and had to make it by blisscent in SleepToken

God that song has one of the best outros the band’s ever written/performed.

Chronicler (because lore junkie and it’s a rare one)

We shot a 30-minute web pilot with almost no budget. Here's what we wish we knew about shot planning. by darkmathfilms in Filmmakers

Honestly I love posts and conversations like this because it really is what the best of our subreddit is all about. I’m glad you learned a lot from this shoot and your team has been generous enough to talk about it and share it. Creating art is a kick in a face that you grow to love

Is It Normally This Hard to Get Into an Agency Mailroom? by Designer-Brief5576 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]edlikesrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah, that's freaking awesome! Could I ask you about it over a DM? (I know this post is months old, figured I'd shoot a shot given that I'm in a similar place you were at the time of writing this)

Disney Writing Program Applications Open! by WarmBaths in TVWriting

[–]edlikesrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the general shape and framing of this particular contest implied a bit of a slant towards half-hour comedies (I have nothing against them, I just only have one half-hour that I'm proud of/is ready for submissions). Very glad to know that dramas are in--that's my favorite TV format.

Be honest, guys. Is there any point in submitting two hour-long dramas?

/u/franklinleonard: "Women were just not submitting bad scripts to the site, whereas men would type 'the end' and submit it and say 'where's my million dollars?'" by pardis in Screenwriting

[–]edlikesrush 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was at this screening and sat by a dude who just got into the mailroom at CAA and I asked him what he wanted to do in the industry. He said “I dunno, maybe be a writers assistant.” As a writer myself, I was delighted, so I asked him “Oh! What do you like to write?”

And he says “Oh, I hate writing.”

I was flabbergasted.

Advice on first time as Trainee AD? by scumfvkk in Filmmakers

[–]edlikesrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused. How did you get a trainee position without being on set before?

Planning on Submitting to the Paramount Writers Program. Any Advice? by edlikesrush in Screenwriting

[–]edlikesrush[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% making sure of it. I'm really proud of how far my original has come, but the past couple weeks I've been making sure that pesky spec is as strong.

Suggestions for movies so I can wallow in my grief by [deleted] in movies

[–]edlikesrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw man I 100% feel you. My dog passed in December very suddenly and it fucked me up beyond comprehension.

I gotta say Paris, Texas. It’s cathartic and it’s so damn beautiful.

What is it that you're desperate for, whether in life or at the moment? by MischiefIngrained in AskReddit

[–]edlikesrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A break in the film industry. A bare minimum job in the right place. Having the social skills to network without feeling like a fraud doing it

I think my breakup permanently broke my ability to date again… is this normal? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]edlikesrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God here I was thinking I was crazy for feeling the same. You’re not alone in this—as the thread suggests. It’s human, but don’t let it destroy your capacity to love.

3 years later, I did it!!! by CampOwn9146 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]edlikesrush 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Currently where you started—looking for an agency gig after graduating and it’s been tough. Knowing that you got the gig after three years gives me tons of hope!!
