Personal? Just Business.

Yea well, nothing personal but it's just business. The business that i am referring to is the entertainment industry. There is a certain level of professionalism that we need to demonstrate at all times. There are many different roles that make up the industry that we may not even be familiar with. There are many behind the scenes work that go into creating what you can see in front of you. The truth is simply that, being in front of the camera is just as important as being behind the camera. Sometimes it can be hard to look past that when you have your mind set on something that you want;however, it is important that you realize because there is always room for opportunity. In other words, its hard to see different opportunities if you are only searching in one place. Ever job, whether you are the stage manager or the person that holds a bottle of water, has a purpose and is important. With the many jobs that come with the industry also comes the feeling of rejection and lose of chances. There is always a vision that is created in the directors mind of how things will be done. The director thinks of what he/she wants and includes what will make that vision become a reality;therefore, that may cause for people or props to be excluded from the creating of that vision. This action does not mean that you do not matter, it simply means that you do not have what the director is looking for. Yes it can be disappointing;but, taking constructive criticism only makes you stronger. You should not let you personal feelings get in the way. I believe that it takes professionalism to grow from your experiences and seize every moment that is given to you. Continue to learn and grow and build upon that foundation. Remember its nothing personal it's just business.
