Good advice about surviving in the mean streets of Hollywood during this difficult time.
This has been a wild year for our industry. Film production relies on the teamwork of hundreds, sometimes thousands of people, often physically in one tight space.
Here’s a gig that seems interesting at LA’s very own KTLA. Worth a look?

“A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.”– Big Fish (2003)

WTF? It’s 2020 and publishers are only freaking out now about public libraries carrying e-pubbed books? Ooh, “Bad libraries, bad….”
For crying out loud….
BEFORE SARAH ADLER moved to Maryland last week, she used library cards from her Washington, DC, home and neighboring counties in Virginia and Maryland to read books online. The Libby app, a slick and easy-to-use service from the company OverDrive, gave her access to millions of titles. When she moved, she picked up another card, and access to another library’s e-collection, as well as a larger consortium that the library belongs to. She does almost all of her reading on her phone, through the app, catching a page or two between working on her novels and caring for her 2-year-old. With her husband also at home, she’s been reading more books, mostly historical romance and literature, during the pandemic. In 2020, she estimates, she’s read 150 books.
