The Great Acting Blog: “Create And Distribute Your Own Work”

Those that bury their head in the sand, those that refuse to look at the world around them as it really is, those who want to still believe in the old mythologies, those who refuse to accept that the world is changing (for example – David Mamet tells us that the Hollywood studios are dying) are going to get left behind. Perhaps these people really are sceptical that change is taking place, perhaps they’re too frightened to face up to it, or perhaps they’re just not serious about the future of their careers. Either way, they are blinding themselves to the opportunities that change brings.

Change is movement, and movement creates space, and within the space lies the opportunity. Developments in technology and the internet mean that we can now take full control of our careers and so our lives – we can create and distribute our own work ourselves.  But surely the window of opportunity will not remain open forever.

No more standing around in the dark hoping to be picked. No more participation in a system incapable or unwilling to discern between the mediocre and the dedicated. Employ your energy and generosity and willingness to work long hours in the service of work that you truly love, in service to a life that is truly fulfilling.

See that the world is changing, see the opportunity, and take it.
