Wow. While it may be too late to ditch out on film school (I'm graduating in two days), it does scare me what he says about LA. I've been planning on doing what Brant describes exactly, and I thought I was super lucky to have a chance to get one of those entry level jobs. It's just so damn disheartening to hear that... I don't know. It does feel like the right thing to be doing right now... I mean, would it be really so bad to have a paid job, while getting real-world experience in the field you want to pursue?
I think while Brant's words may not have totally discouraged me from making the move, they did encourage me to, no matter how busy I may be, keep working on my own artistic chops; whether that involves writing a script, editing my own projects, playing a large role in a friend's film, whatever. Just as long as I don't get bogged down. So, yeah, I guess his words of wisdom did have a positive effect, albeit not the intended one.
Thanks! Thank you both for sharing your experience and knowledge, it is very much appreciated.
