So I'm beginning to think that my course of action for my life over the past several months has been slightly misjudged....let me try and explain as briefly as possible...
I spent last summer working for the Maine Media Workshops as an intern in their film tech department. No doubt a dead end position since it was an internship but also equally an incredible opportunity to not only gain experience but to network and be able to buff up my resume that much more. Long story short, my contract ended, they couldn't offer me any other position so I came back to New York broke and unemployed.
During my time there, I had attempted to get a job working with a Documentary film group out of South Portland which I found out through a family friend who is friends with the man who owns/operates that group. After finally getting a response I was told that the work was going to be very demanding and that I would have to prove myself to them (clearly something I understood by choosing to go to school for film anyway). Long story short, I decided to stay around WNY and make some money before making any serious career moves.
Now I'm unemployed and broke again and I'm seriously thinking that I should have pursued the work in South Portland. I've been trying to get this teachers aide job here and since I just signed on for another year lease any move out of the area is completely out of the question, however, my plan to attend grad school next fall for guidance counseling is also starting to seem out of the question if I still have ambition to work in film, which seems to have been rekindled in my absence from any type of film work over the past 10 months.
Longer story short, I'm rather confused about what I want right now but I know that I miss being a part of a film crew.
