Today, I'm having some stress regarding the state of the film industry in LA, and what to do as someone who's new to town as of about 9 months ago.

Right now, I'm a student at UCLA's Extension program, specifically in the Producing program and it's been a great experience so far. I'm an intern at a very small social media documentary company as a research and development assistant and it's been really nice so far, but it's remote and unpaid, making it easy to feel a bit isolated. I've been there for about 5 months now, and I'm starting to get the feeling I need to move to something a bit more concrete or at least something that progresses me a bit more. I really want to continue my time in LA, so I wanted to hear anyone's thoughts on the industry right now or any tips you may have for someone who's fairly new. (Where to look for opportunities, cold emailing, connections, etc...)
