day 5: i didn't have any motivation today to do anything unfortunately. just a little difficult to find jobs some days when nothing new is posted and i can't find the energy to do any hunting for work.
it's the weekend at least, but i find trouble enjoying it nowadays while always looking for work.
day 3-4: 6 applications, 3 companies, 3 freelance. 0 answers. i signed up for an informational session with a music company; i figured maybe a Q&A would allow me to get some type of direction finding work. nope. i asked a bunch of times but it was never answered since time ran out. all good though.
what am i going to think of next? hmm.. it's a challenge to find ideas that would even find me a job at this point. still waiting for a callback on the law thing as well. what more is there to do? i could use an agent, good thing they never answer my requests.
i guess i'll try to write more emails over the weekend and see what happens. i think i'll try more bigger moves next week but MAN. i'm so exhausted.
day 2: feeling a bit off after today. i ended up doing 8 applications for video editing but the law enforcement idea has to wait more. called a few times but no answers, which means a bit more uncertainty for now. it's difficult being in a place in the world of waiting for this many years. watching people your age, younger, less-deserving, succeed in every way you wanted. i'm not jealous nor envious of you guys. i just want my turn. the longer i wait, the more i feel myself growing bitter for them. is this how people feel when they say the world/society never gave them a chance? what ever happens to those people?
i wonder, why is everything so inaccessible to the point of this feeling? a friend mentioned that she had to deal with the same thing for eight months and that means life sucked. it's been a few years for me. no hard feelings, but we are not the same. appreciate the thought though.
i don't want to lose myself. i just have to keep waiting, but man i feel like a psychologist's dream right now. it's day 2, but really day 1000.
i've decided to open up a daily, real-time look and important conversation with myself as i find my way into the entertainment industry. no connections, no easy way out. all real thoughts, feelings, ideas, and the journey to wherever we end up.
the purpose of this journal-out-loud type of experiment is a deep look into the difficulties of the entertainment industry being accessible, the psychological impact of the related job market on someone in their 20s specifically but not only, and natural self-expression getting through life. i have a portfolio, resume, and pretty much any necessary material recruiters could want. in the end, i hope to open up discussion but ultimately bring eyes to my world for anyone interested in this type of thing.
the quick recap: my name is bryce. i'm in my 20s. i've been editing and being creative since 2013, but unofficially since i was a kid. straight As, hyperactive student with countless entertainment-based outside of school activities. video editing became the plan in 2013, and i graduated in 2021. over the years a lot happened, kinda went through a lot of phases but ended up with a love for motion graphics, designs, etc. i kinda just do anything at this point in editing. i play games and watch stuff for fun, usual stuff, blah. i have a condition that makes trouble when it comes to traveling so sadly we have to be remote. i also don't live in one of those areas where you can luckily just walk outside and meet a rich production person or something accidentally and get a job. no family, no friends, nobody can really help on getting to the dream. i love them all, but it's just a completely different lifestyle from everyone else. it's quite literally me against the world.
the objective: i want to edit professionally, and consistently. fulltime. movies, shows, games, anything on a large scale. production agencies, commercials, music videos, literally any of it. i will either be one of the biggest inspirational stories ever or a disappointment to myself. time will tell.
for any friends, family, or relevant people mentioned throughout this deep dive: i believe the unfiltered, authentic voice i will share can be infinitely more effective for understanding the ups-and-downs in my daily life. self-expression has to be a vital part here, but i will always appreciate your support nevertheless.
(apologies in advance if i miss some days but i'll do my best to recap)
day 1: i spent the majority of the weekend filling out applications for editing as usual. we're deep into the "did-i-already-apply-here?" phase, by the way. over the weekend i did about 20 applications, but i've started looking into working on the digital side of the law enforcement. i had a long mental hell, but decided that i could feel satisfied with myself if i use my editing capabilities for good. i found a new direction, but it would require a certificate for long-term work. do i really want to go back to school for a bit? i don't, no-- not at all honestly but if i can't find work at this point do i have a choice?
i'm going to make a call today to get some information about it all. currently i have two commissions in the lineup but the chances of them evolving into fulltime work is pretty low. i also don't think either would pay enough to be able to live a comfortable life anyway. america is quite expensive. how can i be expected to be successful if i can't get work? i'm young, ambitious, and persistent, but people don't even know that i exist right now. it's such a convoluted system.
i'll work on a commission today and then figure out if my future has any law enforcement involvement.
it's a heavy world on these shoulders.
