Yep, all good thoughts.

I really think it comes down to life experience. If you've always been around it, then through experience and good mentors, you're able to make a reasoned judgement decision.

I'm not doing very much at all in this industry, but, having grown up with it, am able to tell the real from the fake. ( Or so I think ! LOL )

Personally, I'm trying to get a film project together. It's taken 3 yrs so far just to get to get to development stage. I can pay Jo Blow $5k to re-write the script to "Hollywood standard". I can pay Mr Studio to re-record the music. I can hire a publicist to "do the rounds" and "get in there"....that's not how it works.

That's a total load of nonsense. It will fail or succeed on it's own merits, and eveyone whos' anyone knows that.

Is it the best thing since sliced bread ? You bet ! Is it going to make a trillion ? You bet ! Am I delusional ? ......

Perhaps......

But there's plenty of folks here to keep me in line, and I tell you one thing I won't do, and that's throw money at the pretenders who think they know someone.

If you're doing it, then you're doing it, and don't ever pay money for an introduction. It demeans both those who are asking, and those who are being asked.
