As most of you know, I am now living in Denver and trying to continue on my road to success in the entertainment industry even though this city has a much smaller media presence than i had living in NYC.  In a couple weeks Denver will be hosting a film festival: many people in the industry will be gathering for screenings, parties, and events.  For me this is a great opportunity to network and learn more about the ”who’s who” in the biz out here. 

Even when you already have a job, it is important to keep looking ahead and check out everything that is going on around you.  A lot of gigs in this industry are short term and although it is exciting when you have it, the next one may not come as easily and can take longer than you expect. 

Jump on every opportunitiy to get to know as many people as possible where you live.  It always helps to have several people keeping their eyes open for you on future gigs.  And you can have fun too by checking out these cool events you come across!
