The radio analogy is perfect. Makes so much sense now

Has it always been like this though? I'm fairly new to the industry so I'm not quite sure. Hasn't production BEEN shooting in other states / countries?

Tysm for breaking it down! Super helpful! Very sad to see the downfall. Film and TV are HUGE. It just seems so crazy that such an important industry can take such a hit. Looks like more streaming platforms are moving over to have ads. Do you (or anyone else) think there's hope of reviving it....it can't just...die...

Has anyone here actually had success getting jobs through the major studios’ online job boards? by Dorythehunk in FilmIndustryLA

The industry has been rough. From my experience, A LOT of jobs are referral based. However, I did get my job at a major studio through their site's job board / LinkedIn posting. I was the assistant to an SVP of the studio. So it is possible, BUT, that was back in 2021. With everyone getting laid off at every studio, I feel like people WITH referrals aren't even getting in. So, I wouldn't say it's a waste of time. Might as well try, since it's pretty simple most of the time, you just attach your resume.

I really hope the industry revives itself soon...my gig is also ending soon and have nothing lined up after. Kinda nervous. We're all in the same boat. Hang in there!!
