Episode 14: What We’d Do If We Were Trying to Break Into Hollywood Today
May 28, 2024
The Creative Cut Up podcast is a lively and honest space for storytellers that sits at the intersection of craft, business, and creative freedom.
Join us weekly, where Felicia Pride and her co-hosts, Dria Roland and Georgette Pierre, talk shop and smack, share the good, the bad, and the ugly, and provide tangible tips to support your creative practice, your career, and your artist self.
Hollywood is a mess right now. Yet and still, there are so many things we would’ve done differently to break in had we known what we know now.
In this episode, we cut up about the privilege of hindsight, the importance of networking, creating no matter what, and not putting all of your eggs into one basket.
