Greetings, Everyone.
So, in case you haven't heard latley...the California economy is in the dump. The entertainment industry is in a freeze, more/less, and nobody is quite sure where things are heading. Milk is upwards to $7.00/gallon. Gas is $3.00/gallon. The timing couldn't be worse to be in California OR to find a way into the entertainment industry.
Earlier this week I lost a job that I was pretty excited about and was planning on using to save up some serious money for the next two weeks. (It was a job teaching film to forgein exchange students that I told alot of you about when I was home). Basically, I arrived to work one morning to find the entire place shutdown. They declared bankruptcy.
So, once again I am out and searching for a job. To be honest, it is getting a little old and tiring. Who knows? Everything does happen for a reason and perhaps I will be thrilled later on when I find out some positive news, but for right now...I need to find a job, and I need to find a new plan.
As much as I love California, and as much as I don't want to leave, I am looking at expanding my horizons and exploring other places right now. Since the industry is frozen right now, and the economy in this state is worse than anywhere else in the world...I want to explore other places, gain more experience, and come back when the state, industry, and maybe even my school are back to normal.
This is where I need your help. I know I have tons of people reading my blog.
--If you have any thoughts or ideas of where I should look for jobs (anywhere nationwide!), please let me know.
--If you HAVE a job for me...slideshows, VHS to DVD transfers, you name it....please let me know! I could use the business!
--If you have any connections in the entertainment world...whether in WI, CA, or throughout the country, please let me know!
I am looking at Omaha, Nebraska as a possible area of work for my future. While many of you may laugh, there is a lot of room for growth there. More importantly, there is a huge NEED for people in the entertainment world there. Why? Because nobody wants to work in the 'middle of nowhere' on movies, tv shows, etc. Everyone would rather be in California or New York. Furthermore, Omaha's cost of living is CHEAPPPPP compared to California (and even compared to many other places!).
If you have any thoughts, any bits of help, any connections you may know about....PLEASE let me know. I am tired of California and I am ready to move on. I am looking at the entire nation and seeing where I would be benefit most from moving to. If you have anything, I'd love to hear from you.

You could investigate the new studios in the Milwaukee area that just opened. I'm sure they're still trying to get on their feet and could use a person with experience. http://www.rdistages.com/ I'm not sure of the other ones but that's the one that just opened in St Francis.
Or write a sappy story to Portia and the people at WISN to see if you can get their attention.
I'd say see if you could get to work on a not so hit show like Chelsea Lately, or Bonnie Hunt or something, but, they're probably going through the same things. =/
