The Power Sucking Pitfalls of Indie Filmmaking

I’ve always wanted to be at the top of the acting game.  Always.  But what I’ve done up till now is live in LA for 13 years, work as a personal assistant to A-List writers, directors and actors, land some respectable acting gigs (pilots, guest stars, etc), crash and burn as an actress, go off to write and produce a bunch of stuff (okay good stuff, Sundance award-winning stuff), so I could rise from the ashes with a newly lit torch under my desires and THEN go make a movie, that I star in.
