The story so far...
My life just turned upside down. In September 2005, I moved out to Los Angeles to pursue a career in filmmaking. I never had a concrete plan, just a couple of contacts and a resume. First I worked at MGM in the legal files department and yes, it was just as fun as it sounds. Then I left and freelanced as a production assistant. Definitely hard work, especially on jobs where there was no money. But it was worth it for the people I met and it certainly had its fun moments. Then I started working as a non-union extra. You know those people who stand around in the background of your favorite shows and don't say anything? I did that! It was fun, despite a lot of sitting around and doing nothing. Sometimes there was free food. Did I hear someone say bagels and lox for breakfast? After doing that, I went back to work at MGM in the records and archives department. The lunatics were running the asylum and we all had a lot of laughs.
However, rent was a killer (especially at the piece of shit house I shared with three guys from film school) and I knew I couldn't temp/PA forever. I decided (with help from some friends back home) to come back to the Sunshine State and start working on my own projects. What will happen next, nobody knows...
As for Los Angeles, I'll be back.
