P.S. Atlanta has a HUGE and thriving film community, debatably more so than L.A. these days. Digital technology and the like has opened up massive filmmaking opportunities in numerous states across the country.
In today's day and age with Skype, etc., I'm living proof that one doesn't *have* to move to L.A. in order to make a feature with a budget. Grew up in Ohio, moved to L.A. area initially to act in film, few years later moved to Northern CA, found myself more and more behind the camera, made frequent trips to L.A. (since I had established contacts and friendships there), however, was blessed to shoot my first feature-length film in 2016 (not released yet) with name talent, but had previously moved to Northern CA. Yes, the shoot was in Southern CA (Thousand Oaks), however, my family and I reside in Sonoma County.
I have lived in the LA area all my life and have been pursuing filmmaking for 10 years now and let me tell you it hasn't gotten easier with living here or the advancements of my knowledge I've obtained over the years. Not to discourage anybody but this industry has become crazy over saturated. The good part is everybody wants to be the next Steven Spielberg and the next big director or DP, but there are so many other areas in the industry you can be successful at and if you keep that in mind you can probably make a dent in this industry, which a dent is a big deal in this industry.😎
Hi, when are you going to upload the full Wendy Kram interview? I’ve loved all her clips and when you interview female screenwriters in general. It’s inspiring to see long form interviews like this from women. Thanks!
Love film and music but fk la first earthquake i was like this isnt for me Central valley the real valley native all day check it out ig Jvicedsc559_thasuburban_shaman
I grew up in Ohio, however, did my college internship for a quarter in L.A.... and that was the year of the massive Northridge quake, that was around 20 minutes-ish from where I was staying in Studio City... I braced myself in bed against the wall, understanding CA was associated with quakes, however, kept thinking, "How long is this gonna last?!" Turns out it was the biggest one in that area in a number of years!

Hollywood can never be replaced
It will never be LA

Christopher Shawn Shaw trust me you do
Did he get support from family or did they try to talk him out of it? When will we learn more about the interviewer?
No! Just need a really good internet connection
