I am a writer and producer and actor here in Chicago IL. I am also a financial advisor specializing in the needs of filmmakers/artists and entertainment education businesses in insurance, retirement planning, and general financial planning. This is not an easy industry, so you need a lot of inward faith, hope, and love to keep at it!

Hi Walt Alexander - glad you're with us. And yes, I would agree that we need a lot of faith, hope and love to keep going. I would even go as far to say that those are the prime motivators. Blessings on all that you do.

Hey, Walt! Welcome, and glad to meet you! WOW, I love how you show up in both a logistical capacity and a creative one! How does that work for you? Like financial planning is a 9-5 or freelance with flexibility? Do you only act on the weekends or as needed or do you only perform that which you write?
Also, how is the industry doing in your neck of the woods? L.A. is hurting, I won’t lie. But sometimes we have to hit a low point before we can recover, ya know?
Is there anything you’re working on right now? If you’ve got a writing project, I would HIGHLY recommend joining the Nov. Write Club challenge - it’ll be announced in the next few days, and it’ll have TONS of resources to help you reach your creative goal, including giveaways!
In the meantime, definitely check out the Producing and Screenwriting Lounges. I think you’ll find some interesting conversations, and maybe even some great resources!
