Good day my fellow stage 32's.... 32ers?.... 32 community? Well I'm here because I want to post about a worry that is always in the back of my mind. That worry is that things won't work out in my favor. I know this industry is quite brutal which I'm used to since the military community I was a part of was very cut throat. I'm just worried that after graduating college with my degree in Cinema and Television I'll have nothing to show for it. I'm sure that this is just pregame jitters. What has everyone done to combat these worries and what sort of opportunities should I really be going for? I have an internship that is about to finish but I don't think that is enough because I didn't really have a chance to prove my mettle. I'm looking for a new internship for the fall and or spring on handshake. I just want to have a shot to join this tremendous community and make my mark. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

Get your butt on a hot set - that's the access rout. It is a brutal business but you can't let your worries and insecurities get in your way. You're a military man - just go do it.
Looks like I'll have to show up to a set and act like I belong and get to work.

Yep. Get on set, work hard, be professional, give more than take.
As others mentioned already, get on a set. Have a set of scripts ready to share. Also, get one of your script made independently. Don't stress on time. The industry isn't going anywhere.You'll get it done.

Get started on your own and work on as many sets as you can. Invest your time as a PA, work for free and work hard, have a great attitude. Do it for one year. Set goals, meet people, start your family/crew of like-minded people and make films using your smartphone. This will give you practice, help your creativity and connect with filmmakers.
Best of luck, Neal! Get in touch if you want more info.
