Opportunities!

Each day we are tempted with the ideas of grand opportunities. Ways to fast forward our careers; jumpstart into the fast lane to top directors and producers. Most of these ideas live inside our own heads. We believe we hold the magical key that can open the door through the relationship of a friend who knows a friend, an agent we just became acquainted with, through the hard work of a film/play that is doing well, etc. Sometimes these venues do us justice. Most times they are short lived and we go back to work to find another vehicle to build upon our short lived success. This business is HARD. And then... there are those times when out of the blue, without warning or prompting, a situation lands on your lap with all of the favorable conditions needed for you to advance and reach a goal. It comes wrapped tightly, coded neatly, in the word investment. $$$ Ah. Where does the creative stop and the business begin? Or have they always co-existed and we just played ignorant out of convenience? I mean, we are after all a Product. Aren't we???
