Show Notes
No IQ weekly recap this week as I wanted to spend the full time talking about this very important concept. We’ll wrap up this week’s articles on next week’s show.
amazing… although i think if you dont try to get as close to hollywood as possible, how do you get there?
It’s not black and white and there are many paths – the first step is to learn how be able to make something someone else wants. When you can do that, it’s a lot easier to get Hollywood’s attention.
Yes you want to be aware of what’s going on and how productions are done. I certainly don’t want to suggest people dive into projects without any concern to rights and legalities.
But don’t let those things paralyze you. And certainly don’t let those medicating habits keep you from working towards your dreams.
In these, it’s not about getting close by makeing great product and getting funded to make more – it’s about not hoovering up the jargon to the point that you get stymied into never creating anything.
