Remember Why You Started

By: Antreise Lacey I experienced all my creative identities in one day today. I’m an actor, host, television director, and camera operator all in one, and today we jumped from watching a run through of The Neighborhood, then the live taping of Entertainment Tonight and followed that by heading right over to NBC Universal. Let…

Live From L.A. in 5…4…3…2…

By: Sam Thor Brunch today began at Bob’s Big Boy, an infamous diner. And let me tell you, I’ve never had a better milkshake. As someone from New Jersey, the home of diners, this was very surprising for me. But it found the perfect middle between soft and smooth, and I wish I could get…

Bob’s Big News

By: Ben Gregory As fatigue has slowly taken hold of the group, we finally took today to calm down a bit.  Starting the day late and ending it early really helped us mentally catch up with everything, so now that we’ve got some down time, it’s a great time to talk about what we actually did…

Back to the Hustle

Those Monday blues are hard to shake off, but a good day of networking can help brighten up the mood!

“No Job Is Too Little”

By: Brittany McGowan It’s day three of networking. As a proud New Yorker, I came out here looking for clarity of what I want to do, but hopefully, stay based in New York. Each meeting so far has been incredibly insightful and immensely helpful, but each ended with the thought of needing to move out…

Great Day, Less Great Pizza

By: Leah Lane I feel like today was the day where we finally started to settle in. I feel like I spent most of the first days here in awe at L.A. Today I felt like I was finally grounded and looking at Los Angeles in a more realistic way. We met with Cameron Kadison,…
