    You’re probably working on the film (BJ2) that I was working on that went on to Europe to finish shooting. Trust me: it’s DEAD in the US. Even in LA, it’s dead.

        I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that they’re right-to-work states. /s

      Oh no, I work in a cinema, as an usher etc. it’s a bit mainstream and a bit art house. I hear you about industry stateside, lots of multiplexes closing

        Yeah. No one goes to the theater anymore and the industry is converging around 200 walled gardens that don’t share content and serve ads to make up for the lost revenue from ticket sales…a race to the bottom and all they had to do was pool their resources and they’d make tons of money on content. Instead, egos caused them to fragment their revenue streams like all the stupid music streaming services did, shooting themselves in the foot.

        I saw it coming from miles away and was outspoken. Still, it’s too late. I’m switching to a better source of income once the tech sector realizes that they actually need humans even in the age of AI.

            Thanks! I’ll need it!

            …If only there were some other system where I didn’t have to monetize my interests. Oh well. I’m sure capitalism is the best way. /s
