Golden age of TV?
In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty. | Proverbs 14:23
Is this the golden age of streamer TV? According to this chart by Chartr (scroll down), in the last decade TV show options have almost tripled: there have never been more new original scripted series, with 559 hitting the small screen last year across cable, streaming services and broadcast TV in the US.
Wooh! Not only does that mean more shows to watch but for us screenwriters/actors that could potentially mean more work, which means more $$$$. I’m here for it! For the believers, check out this commentary by Let God Be True about the importance of always working hard and diligently.
And then, check out the resources below that I hope will help you potentially get more work in your chosen film trade. #SisterhoodCinema
