when i first started trying to get jobs in film it became quite clear very early on in my endeavor that i would need to hustle my ass off if i wanted to work in the business. not only work in the business, but meet the right people so that i could continue working in the business for years to come.

i did indeed hustle and i have been working steadily for the last two years. (there was a 3 month stint where i wasn’t working, but not only wasn’t i the only one in nyc not working, but 3 months as a freelancer isn’t unheard of. unfortunate, but not unheard of.) but during the last two years i haven’t felt that deep drive to hustle like i did before, probably because i’ve been working. but damn, not working for three months, and then having two months of solid work in two productions has reinstated that drive in me again…and pow!! i’m emailing strangers out of the blue, knocking on doors of people with three degrees of separation between us and working on the most amazingly beautiful resume ever. i’m never going three months without work again!

fuck yay!
