I graduated with a BFA in film of 21’ and my overall dream is to direct and write my own psychological thrillers and horror films. I wrote for a tv series that is suppose to be premiering on Amazon Prime but my boss has been busy and has not been responding to texts or reaching out regarding it. I also heard from a lot of people in the area that this studio is partnered with the university but doesn’t really offer any opportunities out of it. I’m currently not happy with my job right now and feel my life is going nowhere. Like part of me wants to drop everything and pack up for LA but that’s a risk to do as well. I wanted to turn in my scripts to screenwriting contests to get some recognition but the trauma of never being good enough still is in the back of my mind. I also struggle with depression, anxiety and amongst other things and really hit a low point with my mental health about what’s going on in my life right now. I want to be doing something I love and I feel like I’m going nowhere in my life. Is there any advice that anyone can give me on where to start or what to do? Or where to look for film industry jobs or where to get some kind of recognition from? I know I’m a good writer and got very good grades in school so I feel I do have what it takes to make it.
Yeah I’m already stressed, I was thinking of doing other things like getting more into doing makeup videos, drawing, singing, filming, writing and see if it gets me anywhere.

I totally feel that, I do like singing, doing makeup, writing, directing, photography and drawing. I am a creative person all around and maybe I should focus and keep practicing what makes me happy. Like if I assert myself and ideas I could be recognized or have opportunities arise for myself. I just lost myself along the way with mental health and other factors and feel not as motivated as I was before or find myself tired and lacking motivation in life. I feel like if I come back around to doing what I love and doing what makes me happy and try new things maybe something will happen or an opportunity will arise. I appreciate your advice, really has me thinking about new ideas and what I can do to practice and showcase myself more.
