There is no reward without risk. If location is a problem, change your location.

I'm from DC and never had any money to move...just did it. Moved to SanFrancisco without a place to live or knowing anybody there. I lived in the YMCA in San Francisco's Tenderlion (AIDS alley) sharing a bathroom with some of the grosses people on the planet for a month before finding an apartment.

It was right after the move that I landed my first acting job... which of course was in NYC, so I had to move cross country again.

I'm still broke, still struggling... my family of 4 still llives in a 2 bedroomn apartment. I write at a desk in the middle of the living room with kids playing all around me and the television going most of the time. But I've never been "stuck" doing anything.

Not trying to be a dick, just trying to inspire.:D

I did the broke and struggling thing. It's no fun. I was even a baggage handler for an airline (and that was with a college degree! :p).

Though really, film was a compromise itself. Don't get me wrong, I love film, but my first love was really art (which is why I did cinematography). My parents talked me out of an art major because I'd never make a living at it and film was a functional compromise. As it turns out, you can totally make a living doing art, just not doing the types of jobs my parents had envisioned. :rolleyes:

So, where I am right now I can't move forward without an Accounting Degree or a Masters in Business or Finance. I realized I don't want to do that and that I hate offices and cubicals, so I went back to school for something else--Art History. I find studying art more rewarding (and to work in a museum would be amazing!) than actually creating something (though I still do that to). So I have about 10 classes to go, which will take a few more years. So, yes I'm right now, but super-inspired! :p

Cool Filming Idea

Everyone lives somewhere unusual from the next person, right? So how about putting a script together, and filming from each location, and then by use of internet editing it into one movie. You would get the scenes from interesting locales, a plethora of unique people, and a film never before put together. It would take a while, but hey it would be fun, and unusual to say the least. Think of the money saved by not flying out to location because you already have a team there to do their part, like a horror version of Pulp Fiction.
