90+% of the people that do this leave fuckless and return to the disjointed, isolation of the midwest anyway. And poorer for their efforts.

Hollywood is on a big decline and you will see places like Atlanta, Austin, and New Orleans take over. That's where you are going to want to be so you can get in at the ground floor of the next golden age of film boom.

France is the only European country besides England who has a relevant movie industry. Try Germany if you want a dead end movie industry.

Live in LA. Can confirm this. It's amusing as hell to see people with stars in their eyes growing to be jaded after they realize they aren't as talented/lucky as they thought they were in their old town.
This realization is also part of the reason why other states/city look so down on LA.

That's the point of La La Land, by the way. As you said, around 90% of actors live in poverty, waiting their big break like zombies.
