Expand postI need advice from screenwriters who have had an O-1 visa. I know what all the criteria are and what the criterion’s mean. My question is, how did you establish yourselves in order to get the visa? What companies did you work for? How did you get your foot in the door at these companies? How did you get press? Recommendation letters? I can’t find any specifics on how to get this stuff. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! NOTE: If you went the typical route of going to film school in the US and transferring to O-1 status after completing optional practical training, please do NOT reply to this post. This route is not an option for me.

Hi! I read the article. I can’t get a student visa or apply for the green card lottery. Thanks though! I appreciate your effort! :)
Hi everyone! Looking for advice on tackling writer’s block and staying motivated on a daily basis. Thanks!

I always just do a writing sprint and write whatever comes to mind so I can try to push through it.
Allison Caldwell You bet!
If you don't want to work on one piece of writing, work on one that is strictly for fun: Write a thoughtful email to your Grandma. Make a list of former lovers. Copy out your favorite song lyrics. Sometimes it's better to outflank the writing before it can mess with your head
Travis Seppala That's a great way of looking at it too. It might just come off as an excuse to avoid writing your story or whatever else you have going on.
