So happy for the #PayUpHollywood stories. The low pay is absolutely the main way that people from wealthy families make it hollywood. Almost everyone I knew in the early days had their parents paying their rents and massive subsidizing their income. It was the barrier of entry.

My parents were high school teachers. They gave me everything they had for film school, but it was nothing in comparison to what was around me. People like to use this kind of thing to justify "bootstraps" bullshit, but the only reason I survived those early days?

It wasn't my "hard work" and "gumption," those are givens. Horribly, the answer was a bit of poker and the fact my great aunt left me a few grand that allowed me to survive the early brutal job searches. A few grand was all it took. That's it. And it was pure luck.
