Currently I set up stage for music shows and drive for Uber 6 days a week. I put in 45-60 hours a week. Is that a real job ? One not in Hollywood. You'll lose your soul. The point is to live and work in Hollywood but keep my soul and be a champion for Jesus. They will eat you alive. You can do what you want. The wholesome values are gone there. I lost my apathy. |

Very honorable of you and many others secretly feel the same. Unfortunately, we live in a low vibrating 3d reality where the demonic plays hide and seek 24/7. You can't win against the beast known as Hollywood on their terms. Get ready for the scoffs and rejection. I have already been rejected by many . Years ago I sent out an email to like 400 people I knew from college and highschool. The email was all about Jesus and The Holy Spirit . I lost many so called friends after that. I got labeled as crazy . |

Thx for the advice . I have a friend who knows some people with Netflix so if I ever finish my first feature I attempted we might try to put it on there . But there’s no gurantee. Also it needs to be good enough obviously . Telling a story in a 10-20 minute short is one thing but telling a congruent story for two hours is another thing. We shall see what happens . And I love writing. I have written a ton of screenplays. But your right it’s hard to sell scripts in Hollywood now. I might just start working on a. Novel too. |
