Such valuable advice. As a personal manager, I work with two actors in their twenties who are writing their own projects and have started to shoot their own short films. One actor, with no formal acting training, has landed four paying roles in five months, is playing the lead in a new film shooting in Manhattan, and up for the lead in a TV movie.
Back in the 80s you had a very few studios really working, very little TV work. With so many platforms today i think there are more people working but fewer 'superstars'
Definitely more people doing things unfortunately I dont think there’s money being made back outside of the big tent pole movies. Back in the day most movies made their money back. Most movies today don’t make their money back.
@@Hypatude a big part of it is most likely greed.. The more fame an actor has the more power they have and the more money they are worth. So you can take unknowns, euro actors that kinda thing and pay them way less than a Tom Cruize when it comes to making money back, thats tricky. It's a mix between streaming, theater experience dying, tons and tons of content available to the point you never have to watch anything twice. And of course greed... It kinda needs to happen in every profession but people at the very top have to stop taking such a large piece of the pie. Because there's less to go around and more people involved in making it. The film industry really changed in the late 80s and early 90s. That kinda was the end of that amazing era out outlaw, b movies. Audiences changed too though. Back then we could sit down for a Saturday afternoon or late night movie and be fine knowing it wasn't going to be a masterpiece.. That's not the audience today and you got so many youtube channels that are not qualified film critics that kinda make content out of ripping things apart.. It's hard to make a fun movie today and not just be stepped on for it
Makes sense, reason I've always liked a real job if you know what i mean. No disrespect. Its just not my thing and i totally respect what yall do. I believe Matt Damon talked about it in a video. P.s. What can i say i like to be entertained and its all possible because you guys

That’s great to hear and that’s the only way I see it going for actors and creators. The club is small for those in fortunate positions.

Yeah it’s a very finicky industry at any level. The percentages are like the lottery better to do it as a hobby until you get lucky
