Katlyn, anyone who has been paying attention for the last hundred years or so knows that the entertainment industry is full of egotistical, amoral, sex mad pricks. But we live in a time when you don’t have to deal with a bunch of Hollywood horndogs to get people to see your work. Make a funny short film (You can do it on your phone.), post it on YouTube, and see what happens. Get other women or trusted men to help you if you can. If the first one fails to find an audience, make another, and another. Wishing that people will suddenly change to benefit you somehow is pointless. If you can show that you can do good marketable work on your own, they’ll be coming to you. Excuses are exactly that.
