A year and a half ago I was sitting around my house, unemployed, hanging with a bunch of friends, and altogether pretty happy with my life. It was nearing midnight, the phone rang - it was a number I didn't recognize. I told my friends to be quiet and picked it up. A woman with a slight British accent said "I work for the food network, a friend of yours gave us your number... are you available to work tomorrow morning at 8:00?" It had been three months since I did anything considered work. I said I was available, still not knowing exactly what I was getting into. 8 hours later I'm sitting behind the wheel of a 15 passenger van sipping coffee asking people what their 20's were... This is how it all started.
Gone are the days of carefree idleness, I now have a high maintenance power woman as a girlfriend (she's a lawyer for a hedge fund) and a career in the entertainment industry. The pressure is mounting to make money, and gain power. Will I find happiness and success? Or fail and have to regress in life? Time will tell.
This blog will be my story. There will be production anecdotes, short stories that I am inspired to write, insight into my relationship, and anything else that I deem note worthy to you readers.
It will be a unique window into the life of someone starting out in Television Production and making it in New York City.
