Cyclones working in film?

I know @HFCS lives in the LA area and works on toys for films

I work with big studios to get my projects approved, but I do see a ton of small post production audio/video firms all around Burbank, Glendale, south Pasadena, and Studio City. Some actually in Hollywood. I'd suspect these small firms employ as many or more people as the big studios themselves.

I guess the best advice I could give you is to not live to far from those areas if you make the move. There's a lot of video game stuff further south toward Irvine which might be similar work, but you get away from the film/music stuff.

A little of it is scattered all over. Guy I know worked for Universal music...the main corporate is in studio city but he had an office in Santa Monica and one in Woodland Hills.
 
Not the fun kind. I think she is trying to be in casting or something? She also just graduated from this acting school thing. They had their graduation via zoom and I am glad I wasn't around for most of it, way too many over the top people.

Sounds pretty cool. I appreciate the advice but unfortunately the relocation part isn't an option for me. So I'm sort of banking on being able to do post-production (specifically the audio part of stuff) remotely, and having a home studio (or possibly working at one near me).

I'd reach out to some LA based staffing agencies or get on their lists for freelance jobs. My area is more product/licensing but before I settled into job I had some luck with Vitamin T. https://vitamintalent.com/

Maybe some staffing agencies specialize more in post production.

The freelance might be very remote friendly now after covid. Most of the big studios are still working totally remote anyway, not sure about smaller companies. I live across from WB and most buildings are empty. It's funny because some people who are working remote meet me in person anyway just around bars/cafes instead of their offices.
