This beast we call the Entertainment World overwhelms most that try to tighten is reigns and control it. It is best to just sit down, enjoy the ride and get to know the people around you.
Last night I went to yet another Chorus Gallery show opening showcasing the work of a great artist called SKRIPT. Events like this allow me (and everyone else) the opportunity to meet with other creative individuals and talk about what it is that you love to do. I was told once by one Ms. Kimberly Harris that this industry is all about business cards. If you don’t have a business card you had might as well not go out and meet these people with any intention of working with them. Harsh words for a harsh world.
It’s nice meeting people who are running the same hustle as you. You connect on a more personal level than if they were just another Joe Shmoe on the street. They know that you are working your ass off to make a living for yourself making art and tend to want to help the cause – which in turn you reciprocate. I have had the pleasure of meeting some pretty amazing people last night who I plan to work with in the near future – Fibrevolution, Alex Carlson, SKRIPT, Gabe Herman & Margaret Singer.
Network, people. Network!
