Imagine getting the part....only to find out the movie lost budget, imagine your pilot is sold but then gets dropped after the first season, imagine being nominated for best actor and not winning. I imagine with every success story their is a much bigger story of failures. Have faith, believe in yourself and never give up.

Expand commentI went to film school shortly after high school. I worked a series of horrible jobs, barely scrape by, constantly teeter on the edge of losing everything. I'm 36 now and just started writing again about a year ago. I am determined to do something with it. I'm constantly frustrated but it is what I have always wanted to do. No more putting my dreams, hopes, and desires on the back burner. I have never been happy doing what I had to. I want to do what I want. If it's your desire then don't give it up. Even if you never make it you can at least say you gave it your all.
