Odds of Hanging On
The film industry is one of those businesses where once you're in, you're basically in for life. As you build your career and your business, you'll also want to build your Rolodex (that's Baby Boomer for Friend List).
Making the connections will keep you busy, because you'll know the people looking to buy and the people looking to sell. Since you're basically the middle-man of the industry, you want to be the center of that filmmaker sandwich as much as possible.
