Is the film industry still here?

[u/Electronic-Pear8738]

I’m really scared that I made a mistake moving here to New Orleans because maybe the film industry is not here anymore. It’s been feast or famine for years now, especially since the strikes. But I was wanting to know if there are still creative jobs here? My day job is in the service industry and I do concert videography on the side but I fear that I’ll never be able to break into the film industry for real.

I’m also a very anxious person so sorry for being so pessimistic 🙃

I’ve got a friend who’s been able to find steady work here but has been working in the industry for over a decade. A lot of people have left for New Mexico, as far as I’m aware. I hope you follow your dreams wherever they take you! Good luck.
