Speaking as an ex-film producer - nope.
It's tremendously difficult to share the problems inherent in most showbiz professions.
That's partially because they tend to be very complex and counterintuitive. If we wanted to have a conversation about my problems selling a feature film (assuming I was currently doing so - thankfully I'm not), I'd first need to give you a 90-minute seminar on how selling films works in 2016, unless you're also in the business.
It's also partially because people are usually very jealous of you working in such a cool profession, and thus any problems you have become "complaining about diamond shoes pinching".
- JamesBarney 10y agoI think listening to someone talk for 90 minutes about how selling films work would be freaking fascinating. My wife however does not feel the same way about a 90 minute lecture on how compilers work.
- digikata 10y agoJust to add into another comment, a 90 min seminar on how selling films works does sound fascinating, as would a whole series of seminars on how various industries operate.
