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.

This is so true. This is why people from less wealthy backgrounds who want to be in the arts end up in the technical trades while more wealthy people end up in the “creative” jobs. When I applied for the lighting union I was straight up told “they’ll never see you as a writer”

The blue collar/white collar divide is more strongly enforced in film/arts than anywhere else I’ve worked (I’ve been in retail sales and the building trades). “Creatives” don’t even seem to hang out with “crew”. No one I’ve ever even heard of has worked up from crew to creative.
