Dr Gonzo's Opus
Hello peeps.
I've got an aching, a mission, a vision, and I'm looking for any kind of help, assistance or advice I can get.
After finishing my masters in business administration here in Holland, I've become even more convinced that my future career must be made in the movie industry. I have a deep passion for movies, I have a love for them which runs even deeper than my love for hockey (I'm not making any friends right now I guess) and have been fooling around with some buds on some shorts, but nothing serious, nothing with a budget.
Obviously I realize that I'm quite late in my academic career to decide that I want to do something that differs alot from what everyone else is doing from my class. I want to combine my love for movies with my knowledge of management; eventually, my dream job would be to become a producer.
Above it all, I'm sick of Holland. I broke up with my girlfriend last year after 10 years, I look around and see everyone doing jobs I have no interest in, in industries I don't care for, I'm sick of the Dutch mentality, and wish to live in a region where movies is a significant economic and cultural dynamo. I just finished school, I have no real responsibilities here, and am convinced this is the best time, if ever, to leave. Considering my Canadian background, I've come to the decision that I want to move to Vancouver or Toronto and get my foot in the door in a studio, and try to get a corporate job and work my way towards the production side of movies.
Does anyone have any tips for me? Any links, of headhunters, blogs, forums and such? I have a vacantion planned in May to California and will be visiting Vancouver as well, where I hope to have acquired some interview possibilities.
I need a change in pastures. A change in life. I need a goal. I need a meaning that I can be proud of, or at least the feeling that I'm doing what I can to achieve what I want. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
