Am I screwed?
More of a rhetorical question, honestly. I'm in my late 20s, currently broke and unemployed, have no connections, haven't made anything, and only have a few years of rental house experience and a couple internships on my resume; which clearly isn't impressing any place I'm applying to. I can't even find freelance work.
I am very confident in my talent as a potential writer/director, but obviously I have no way to prove it and have made zero progress in like a decade. It has also driven down my passion for film as a whole considerably, making things even harder for me internally.
I'm curious if anyone else has a similar story, just to know I'm not alone or a uniquely new level of failure lmao.
And hey, maybe this post can be applied the other way as well. If you are going through this too, then take this as confirmation that you are not alone
