>it's like, dude, I'm not even killing any animals to stay alive. I've practically earned your money
>>
>>68899989
I don't think you understand, fuck boi.
Memes are reality.
>>
prolly not move back in with your parents because if you had such parents they would have kept you from film school
>>
Work for TMZ
>>
you can use the contact you've made during school to get work.
>>
If you're ambitious, you can move to LA, start working as a PA, and eventually build a career.

Most of you guys here I imagine to be pussies so I doubt you'll ever make it that far.

I live in Austin and I saw a hobo on the side of the road with organic tortilla soup and kombucha begging for money
>>
If you networked properly, you get a job.

Otherwise, it's just like any other useless degree.

>>
>>68900121
As what? I don't wanna be a fucking assistant
>>
>>68900191

Then you're an idiot for getting into film school. PA work is literally what you do for the first few years after graduating unless your parents are rich or famous.
>>
>>68900191
You could always write memeporn starring Danny D.
>>
>>68900273
I didn't, yet. Which is why I'm asking.
I wanna be a writer/director, not do PA work
>>
If you're not an autistic NEET and network and get yourself out there then it isn't hard
>>

>I wanna be a writer/director, not do PA work

So does 99% of every other PA on set.

I have 3 friends who are starting to make it in Hollywood and they all spent their first 3 years working as PAs. One of them is now getting calls from directors and producers for shit like Transformers and Hail Caeser, and the other two are getting VC funds for their own youtube channel.
>>
>>68900478
You sound fucking annoying and like a brat. Do you really think people give a shit about a no name shitposter? You start at the bottom like everyone else
>>
Even the good degrees today don't guarantee you a job. You gotta know people.
>>
>>68900610
Yeah, but the way I see I don't need a degree to write a script and send it to producers. If it's good, they will give me a chance, no?
>>
>>68900478
It sucks but you have to do it. Do your own little projects and write on the side but unless you're super connected, you're going to spend your first few years in LA as a PA.
>>
>>68899802
>hungry vegan
Fucking first world homeless.
>>
>>68900911
How little do you know about the field you wanna get in? Because holy shit lmao
>>
>tfw I work with people in the industry who didn't even go to college
One of the producers at my company only graduated high school and she's doing great. It's all about showing up, putting your name out there, and knowing the right people.
>>
>>68900911

AHAHAHAHAHAHhAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

No. At best they'll buy it off you for an insultingly low amount. Who do you think you are, Quentin Tarantino?

You don't need a degree to go get work as a PA if you know somebody. Unless you're a fucking genius filmmaker and are willing to live like a pauper for 15 years while creating absolutely legendary indie films that's your best bet.
>>
>>68899802
give that man some bacon dont let him die of starvation
>>
>>68900911
I guarantee you no producer is looking for a degree when they read a script. Your degree won't even get you in the door. Nobody out here cares.
>>
>>68900911

You have the attitude and personality type to never make it in Hollywood anon, don't feel bad neither do I.

But just to throw you a bone, this is what you're looking for:
