I truly agree with posts above that there are networks available for many in Hollywood who are willing and energetic enough to reach out and make friends. It takes a certain personality to enjoy this process–to find it fun to hang out with peers and talk shop, to volunteer to help on their student films, to share an apartment after graduation. It may take a certain risk-tolerant tendency, too. (And that includes the parents!)

I so agree.</p>
