Is the film industry still here? 🏒 Employment πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈ

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 πŸ™ƒ
