Let Down

During the break of the holidays with time to be able to reflect on things I became very...angry. Angry in the way that I want to break down work walls and not work only as a hired hand. "Working the neck down" or working as a manual laborer is all that I seem to be doing since I moved out to LA. I needed to do something other than just work on a Film, TV Show, commercials or Music Video. That was my goal this year and still is.

My first direction was to look at web sites like craigs list. I am almost done looking at that. I do not have a bunch of free time helping out projects that can not help me. All that I found so far are projects that don't interest me. What I should be saying is a post on craigs list does not give me the right feeling, as I am sure that my or anyone else's website does. That is something that I have not figured out.

In the back of my mind are a couple of ideas. While I don't have the contacts to pursue my feature films ideas I did have a couple of friends in TV. In my mind I had a great idea for a TV show and by chance I had a second to pitch an idea to a friend who liked the idea and thought it would be good to bring to his boss. Great.

Long story short: after I have been researching for about a week. I found the TV Show already on TV and done badly. The reason I didn't know the show had already been done was that it was already pulled of the air a year ago. CRAP. So not only was it on TV it was also canceled.

The bright side was I got close to pitching an Idea. All my hard work of meeting people and making friends had be for good use. Not only do they keep me sane in this crazy land they also can help me .

I still have a couple of ideas, but I will do a bit more looking next time.
