I want to be an actor and I also like making films. People I work with say I am good at both acting and film making. But... The only acting I do is in my own short films, I did act for couple of my friends, never for strangers. My short films hardly get 1000 views on YouTube, while other guys' films get at least 500.000 views
4 years of doing it and I am still struggling, whenever I film something, it's because I wrote it. When I film music videos, that's because they're either for free with no budget or couple of £100's with no budget
A friend of mine makes videos on youtube and gets 20.000 views in couple of weeks.
I am talking about youtube because that's where I know if something works, if short film gets several hundreds of thousands views, that means people like it and share it. Nobody ever shared my films lol
I am also struggling getting a simple job at production company even as a runner. My portfolio doesn't seem to satisfy anyone in a professional world
All I hear is "oh you're good" and I am tired of that because nothing that I make actually succeeds so... How do I know when to move on?
