Beverly Hills Bytes
i'm so excited! i had a really good experience at my interview today. the man was nice, and i felt fairly comfortable being myself even though i was nervous. we talked a bit, about what he's done and what i've done; he explained a bit about the position and showed me around.
sounds fairly low-key, but super fun. a great way to get some exposure to the entertainment industry down here in LA. i'm not interested in becoming famous, but sure it'd be fun to learn the names of the studios and various directors and stuff. the building it's in is really pretty in a charming, old, "with character" kind of way. people seemed much more friendly than i'm used to from the Bay Area. i guess it's the lack of intellectual arrogance (and probably excessive amounts of silicon implants and bleached hair, too!).k
anyway, i've been given an "audition" (assignment) for this man to make sure i understand what he wants, but he seems pretty confident that "it'll work out." so i need to read a book, summarize and critique it basically as soon as possible.
i still have a hard time reading, though, and i'm already having a hard time getting started. good thing i'll be reading at his agency when i'm there, so i have no distractions.
i'll probably do it 2-3 days a week. i'm so inspired; i can think of all other kinds of jobs i'd like to have now. i'm having fun applying for various things, just for the experience of it.
anyway, i'll turn this assignment in as soon as i can, hopefully by monday, and then he'll give me a screenplay to try out too, since i've never read one.
updates to follow! thank you all for your encouragement!
