Great interview. Marketing guru Seth Godin talks about marketing being ALL ABOUT generosity-being generous offering a service or product that will HELP OTHERS. And he talks about doing the work. The Practice, every day.
The people who know right persons get their script to be read. Isn't this the biggest problem in Hollywood? Isn't this the reason Disney loses money making huge flops? There's 7 billion strory tellers. There's no way the most talented persons get their work to be seen in this system.
There is no other way. There are 30,000 scripts shipped to Hollywood. There's no way to vet them all especially when you're playing with someone else's money
I have noticed that there wasn't any mention of making content via TH-cam and getting people to view the artist's content and if it is good enough, someone in the business can talk to the creator and work with the creator. And as far as rejection, it's amazing how when a creator gets rejection from someone in the business, someone else in the same business agree to work with a creator and their project, it gets made and makes them money, the people who passed on the creator's project will probably get in touch with the creator for future projects.
I love how she talks about “knowing who is reading your scripts” sometimes we just send our art into these “voids” and it feels like no one is listening, but you have to know. I also love how she talks about it not just being talent. You will drive yourself crazy thinking talent will just take you the whole way. It is a BUSINESS. And people forget that part. I mean they even hire talentless people. So that must mean something. Its not just your talent, but also, how do you market it?
@@SunnyNutritionpeople do it all the time🙄I’m an actor. The people they usually hire over me are nepo babies with no experience, celebrities who are trying acting for fun, and social media influencers. Most of them are not talented actors. Not bragging at all, but I went to Juilliard. It’s insulting to actors who have studied so hard.
My son a very successful actor writer and director in Hollywood making millions no school or anything from the hood I see you have the wrong attitude was trying to give you good advice sir
Schools don't mean nothing to smart people I never finish 9th grade own a dentist office stores in three states I find many people believe there own hype I seen your page you ne ed much help raise money and make you own movie and stop crying and man up I think you mad at your self
@@SunnyNutrition excuse me?! You just admitted that your son is a nepo baby. You just proved my point. If you own 3 dentist offices, that means your son is rich by extension. So he didnt even have to go to school.😵💫😵💫😵💫 He has way more time to prepare for an audition than someone who has to work a 9-5. He can even turn his in extra early. You stop crying and man up yourself. You seem like you’re still a child at 70 years old.
Um, the real question is why is the mental block for making money? Here’s a reframe: Don’t you want your story to emotionally impact as many people as possible? You can tell this has happened by the amount of gross profit the movie made. The more gross (total amount) money the movie made the more people were interested in seeing it - because it somehow emotionally impacted and appealed to them. Therefore: write and make movies that will impact large groups of people, universal human condition topics and in a clever way you can weave your particular specific point of view into that foundational story. Your guest is talking to you like you’re 5, lol. Artsy type thinking seems to grate on her nerves. I can relate.
This is why everything coming out of film and TV now is garbage. The corporate side of the business needs things absolutely spoon fed to them, even though sales is supposed to be their job.
People do not seem to understand that producing most movies that most people actually will pay money to see, cost at least 200,000$ per day of shooting and that’s a pretty low budget. If your script isn’t worth at least to throw a million (5 days of shoot) at it, it’s probably not worth being picked up unless it’s made by barter or blowjobs.
Is it even about doing well in these industries anymore? Isnt it all just nepotism nowadays? Why hire the aspiring talent when your neice/nephew with a different name needs to start working? Why hire people who are competing against your relatives?
"How to Land A Job in Film and TV" by FIRST buying my book. Exhausting. It's who you know. Period. The honest part of this whole video is the industry only cares about money.

Stay independent. Main stream TV and Hollywood is so F'd in the head, it's not worth it.
