Hi everyone! Such an amazing idea to have this space. I left the industry years ago because I felt discouraged as all the people getting jobs were relatives of directors/actors etc (I was much younger then) while I saw a lot of talent being wasted.

How are you guys feeling about the industry now? Happy New Year!
