Introduce Yourself : Moving to LA by Decedric Williams

Hi and welcome! You don't really need to move to LA to broaden your writing. What are you looking to accomplish exactly? Maybe take some writing courses. Send out spec scripts. Maybe find as job as a PA just to get your foot in the door. This will give you an opportunity to talk with writers and read scripts as well as make connections. If your goal is to work in the entertainment industry, I'd suggest not living any more than 10-15 minutes away from the studios. Hope this helps and good luck with the move!

Thanks Christine! This helps a lot. I just accepted a position at one of the Universities so I do have that but….lol

Congratulations!!

That's cool, Decedric Williams! Congrats! What's your position at the university?

Thank you!!! Administration Coordinator

You're welcome, Decedric Williams. Administration Coordinator. Cool.

You can check the Screenwriting Lounge. There might be some Californians there who can give you insights and advice about living in LA.

Decedric Williams Hi Decedric, well done on that first brave step.

Not quite the advice I was looking for

I guess I should've added a '/s' (snark) tag.

Thank you Geoff!!!
