I have been out of the business for many years, so I’m essentially starting over. I have actor/producer friends on social media that I have known for 30-40 years but I have never used them as connections.

Cameron Martin’s Network
What I learned doing this assignment is…In some ways, this feel like a return to a larger world. I dropped social media sometime in 2017, and only recently joined Instagram in late 2020 to keep up with family and post football highlights. I haven’t been on Facebook in almost six years, and I never joined Twitter. Honestly, joining these platforms freaks me out, but I understand the potential in reconnecting (even in a small way such as a friend request) to a number of people I used to know who’re still connected to the industry. Needless to say, my networking opportunities are basically in the earliest stages possible. Hopefully that proves to be an advantage (no baggage) and not a detriment (no online history to speak of). More research is needed on my part to know how much impact my current network can provide, and in many ways I may need to develop even less expensive IP in order to take advantage of the opportunities they can present. Still, laying it out this way is extremely helpful in understanding just what I do have right now, and what strategies I can implement in the future.

“What potential do I see in my current network”
A handful of people have good connections. Many of these people I haven’t communicated with in years though. My next best move to utilize the max potential with this group is to write something with a micro budget (as close to the low thousands as possible) and go from there. There’s the Louisiana Film Prize and that may be my next move if I can’t sell this or any other feature. I can write a short, however, and produce it to hopefully develop a grassroots network for larger projects.

Subject: Kate’s Network
What I learned doing this assignment is I am not good at developing connections.
What potential I already see in my network is a slim wedge that could grow.

Antonio’s Network
What I learned doing this assignment
Backwards planning has been a mantra that I have followed as an educator for decades. You envision the end up result, same as a screenwriter envisions the story and starts with the pitch — you plan with the end in mind. So here we go again, we start with the network that will ultimately open doors for the pitch to be delivered. I feel proud of being part of our PS81 group, the end of an era. If we were the characters of a TV series, we would be wrapping up a season and preparing for the thrill of the next.

What I learned doing this assignment: I worked in <st1:city w:st=”on”><st1:place w:st=”on”>L.A.</st1:place></st1:city> years ago in post production on TV Series and Documentaries. But these contacts are years old, and I have not included them here. So I have a lot of work to do to beef up my current network!
