Hey guys -
I am hoping that some of the LA peeps can chime in with some advice and insight about the industry. It appears my short stint in NY may be coming to an end by the end of summer. While it would be great to continue to live and work here, the significant other is finishing up her PhD and wants to move closer to home (SF). As such, I am considering moving to LA because it is closer and seems like a logical step for me in this career path.
While I do expect to have to jump on a few freebies just to meet some folks, how hard would it be for someone like me - who has decent gripping experience - to find sets to jump on? Are there any other production resources other than clist and mandy that I should be looking at? Is it an absolute nightmare making it to set on time with all the traffic?
If anyone can share their experiences working in LA, or if anyone has made a similar move, I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
