So it's becoming more apparent to me just how bad the job market is at the moment. I was a little naive going into this and thought it would be pretty easy to land something full-time. It obviously isn't. The hunting takes up most of my day, and I am getting frustrated with it, but at the same time I tell myself I haven't got anything else productive to be getting on with and i genuinely feel guilty when I relax and watch a film/ anything that isn't looking for a job.
But today has put me in a slightly more enthusiastic mood. Having a coffee sat chatting to random people like I do and this guy wants to make micro-budget short film. I'm in. Having another chat, I realised, if people don't want to/can't employe me, I'm gonna have to do it myself. I literally have all the time to do something, with nothing in my way. So I'm going to write a business plan. It's in its very early stages i.e only had the idea today, but basically takes the boot camp/ murder mystery/ theme weekend type plan. Gonna have to do some full on marketing research, as from a quick look today, it is completely untapped in the UK because 1) no body has seriously thought about it or 2) people have tried and there isn't the market. I'm hoping the latter isn't true. But even if it is. I shall make the market happen.
Obviously I am needing funding, industry professionals to talk to and a lot of support. If anyone would like to help, please feel free to contact me and I can fill you in. Or if you know anyone who might be interested, pass this on.
