Many Americans grew up with the idea that there is a set career ladder that they can climb if they work hard enough - but unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t quite work this way in the film industry.\n\nIn this episode, we talk about...\n\nWhether or not Hollywood has a career ladder, whether the way the system currently works makes it impossible to move up in the industry, and who is trying to change the system.\n\nHow frustrating it is that when you want to make a slight career change, it\u2019s hard to make lateral transitions without starting at the very bottom.\n\nHow opportunities in the industry are still limited to mostly serve people of a certain class, a certain race, and a certain gender.\n\nThe fact that there is an expectation for people to spend their twenties working overtime at the poverty level just to move up in their career.\n\nWhy there should be more mentorship opportunities in the film industry.\n\nBlender, a free tool for model-building from Adobe!\n\nWhether or not to form an LLC.\n\n\n\nLinks to Resources:\nBlender\nListen to recent episodes for great interviews with M.
