The week Entertainment Studios was wrapping up, I decided to reach out to everyone I knew in the film industry. I sent them an upgraded resume and an email letting them know what I have been doing. One of those emails came back with a job offer as a temp office manager at a production…

I was over entertainment studios and the grind culture. At the same time, I felt like, “Frshta, you are lucky to even have a job in the industry.” I wanted to grow and to do more. I started to take off all the stuff from my work wall. All of it. Everyone started to question…

My new producer was mean, and that’s honestly how I felt. She made comments to me about my personality.”Why do you have to be friends with everyone?” “Why are you so nice?” I didn’t know how to answer the questions. I was just being me. She was from the east coast and felt strongly that…

Knowledge is true confidence. The more I learned about my role, the more confidence I had. I learned how to use File Maker Pro and different casting websites. A couple of months later, they decided to switch up the teams. This was after my producer, and I had a tiff over casting. Like all work…

I only had a few weeks left at Blumhouse since I was heading toward the head of the semester, which meant the end of the internship. I wasn’t doing a good job keeping up with my internship class, which I had to take to intern. I was pretty done with school mentally since I graduated…

One of my responsibilities at Blumhouse was to read scripts and write script coverage on it. I had never in my life written script coverage before and I had no idea how to do this. On the other hand, I love to read and I was looking forward to reading some cool stuff. My writing…

Nothing remarkable happened next, and I learned a valuable lesson that only dawned on me years later. Every week, we would meet with an executive from Blumhouse and have lunch together. Some were nice, while others weren’t. The most notable one was from Jason Blum’s right-hand man, Cooper. I had heard a lot about Cooper…
