Hi, my name is John Serrano and I was just wondering if I could trouble you for a little advice? I realize that you are probably very busy but I would be very appreciative if you could help me out.Your article actually really helped me. Right now, I’m about to enter the same boat you were in. I’m planing to move to LA very soon to find work in the film industry and hopefully chase after my dreams of becoming an auteur filmmaker.

My current problem is that I don’t know where exactly I should move to in LA. Where would you recommend someone in my situation to move to? Right now I’m looking into apartments in Mid-Wilshire, Hollywood, Santa Monica, West LA, and Culver City. But I have noticed that many production companies are stationed in Burbank, Century City, Universal City and many other places.

One other problem I would like to ask about is how I can get my very first job. It’s still a bit unclear to me about how I can make my first move. Should I just go for it and start sending my resumes to any production office I could find? How do I go about doing this? I’m still a bit confused.

If you could take the time to help me out, I’d really appreciate it. It would be a great help. Thank you.

Don’t forget Luck also plays a major part in ur road to dream success ,Make sure wherever u are working it will lead up to fruitful result

I’m 15 and this inspired me, I am currently doing acting at gcse. I am predicted 2 Astars and my teacher urges me to pursue a career in acting. The information was invaluable and I am an asian (british-indian) yes I know, you don’t see many in films. I want to be the new generation in acting because it is my passion. thanks, appreciated much.

Biggest motivation ever! Thanks so much for sharing this. I will be graduating with a finance degree this year, but my passion is films, films, and films! My family and friends support me and are all for me to join movies. I studied finance in college as a fallback. I already have a job lined up with a large bank once I graduate. I will take your advice about getting rid of debts, saving money, then hitting up the film industry. I think 26-28 would be a good age for me to leave everything and join the film industry. Thanks again!

Hey! great article, very moving for wannabe directors like all of us
I am 21, about to graduate with an undergrad Arts degree (in International Relations) from a fairly nice school, I also think that an irrelevant degree like that gives you self-enrichment and insight that makes a great filmmaker.
I have no debt to pay off, and I’m facing a decision of going to grad school in my discipline, or chasing the dream, moving to Vancouver and starting film career from the gutter. I have to relevant experience or almost no education (took some film/theater/writing electives) but got some self-taught skills, and tons of motivation what do you think, should I go for it?

I want to thank you so much. Its so hard having a dream of being an actress and everybody that you tell your major is in theater to gives you a funny look while I know theyre thinking “thats never gonna happen”. I cant even tell my mom what my real major is because I know she’ll flip out so I tell her Im majoring to become a doctor. I do believe in myself but sometimes it gets hard basically pretending to be something Im not. So, thank you again (whoever wrote this) you got my spirits up again. =)

I guess at the end of the day each and everyone can dream, and read this article to inspire our self to achieve our dream. but i think at the end of the day it’s all up to yourself. a great man once told me the only person that could really destroy your dream is Yourself. believe in yourself and even if you fail, keep going, even if you made a bad decision. encourage yourself to keep trying and trying even if it takes more than 20 years. eventually you will make it. Remember the strongest always survives.

It was very very inspired me and on spot made me ready to leave business of vodafone retail store.i am married now. Can i get success after married in film industries? I love creative work and work with lovely people which i think get in film industries.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ARTICLE IT WAS VERY ENCOURAGING.

Fantastic issues altogether, you just received a new reader. What might you recommend about your publish that you simply made some days in the past? Any sure?

I am pinning this up on my wall! I’m in school and everybody is pressuring me to decide what i want to do when I’m older, I honestly have no clue but I’ve became quite passionate about editing films and coming up with ideas to write about (I’m not yet sure on the idea of writing). I found this article after searching hopelessly for what i want to do with my life, I am truly grateful i found this article as it has given me inspiration for the future. I know my answers now to the questions people will ask me about my career now, and will be prepared for the response, thank you,

Hey thanks for the advice. I have no experience what so ever and would love to get involved within the film industry I would literally do anything. I am 30years old now and want to pursue an ambition I have always wanted to do. Do you think I am too old or give it a shot? I don’t know where to start looking. Thank you.
