are there any places other then LA or NYC that are on the rise for young filmmakers or those looking to work in the industry?
Ive heard Atlanta is up and coming and I recall a few years ago there was supposed to be a big filming studio in Massachusetts called hollywood east
ive heard Austin texas had a pretty good scene for music and movies these days

I really dont want to, but I know I probably will have to
whats generally better (or worse) New York city or Los Angeles ?
>>84722997
If I had to choose between the two I'd pick New York. While they're both shit at least New York's asshole population has some charm
>tfw seattle
There is a very small portion of artsy faggots here in regards to film. For things like spray paint art of coffee shop owners, theyre everywhere. Im probably going to have to move as well, but my whole family and job is here

Seriously that's 90% of the industry. Trying to break into the industry anywhere else is a bit of a waste of time. Most of the people in these other locations will still regard LA as home base.

different tastes of shit. IMO, NYC is better for stage and performance art like improv, theater, music, sketch comedy ect while LA is more focused on movies and television. From what ive gathered its been like that since the 70s

Los Angeles is dirty and Hollywood, itself, is disgusting.
I've never been to NY, so I can't remark.
LA likely nets more connections, though -- even if it's oversaturated with people looking to break in.

LA is more plastic and full of vapid cunts, but they are more "on the nose" with who they are and what they do, where as new yourk everyone is a hipster faggot that thinks theyre high and mighty but trendy too and change their views or what they are all about at the drop of a hat. Its also got more connections then new york, thats just a fact. And its arguably easier living there. You dont have to live in LA if you dont want to or cant afford it, the surrounding counties are managable
New York is retard expensive and congested for what you get, so unless youre Hanna from girls and can live in a massive two bedroom apartment for thousands a month youre living in essentially a college dorm. Theres also a huge difference between NY county and NY city, like a world of difference. If you dont live in the city you might as well not live there at all, getting to and from the city is a pain in the ass and barely worth it
Source, I lived in NYC and though it has its own fair share of problems CA is an improvement
who /smallmidwesttown/here?
either way id be abadoning my family and going to the other side of the country, something theyve openly told me theyre against and id be more or less blacklisted from the family. I also have moments where I like it here, being its all I know but im going to have to make a move if I really want this and its killing me inside
Any other MAfags or specifically Boston fags? I wish our movie scene was bigger
S..sometimes Ben affleck makes a movie here

Boston is just Philly with more heroin
