Married, SF fan, cat lover, canine compatible, serial crafter, oft-time repeater of others' bon mots & borrowed wisdom. It's okay - you don't have to follow me. I'm unlikely to follow back. Don't worry about unfollowing, either: not everyone's cup of tea

This! It's creative class work
Alvaro M. BedoyaPeople think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall.
