Why Creatives on The Come Up?

Breaking into the film and entertainment industry can feel overwhelming, especially when you don’t have a clear roadmap.

A lot of people only talk about the highlights:

• getting the opportunity

• landing the job

• making the big move

  
  

But not enough people talk about what happens before that.

• The applying

• The rejection

• The uncertainty

• The feeling of trying to figure everything out as you go

  
  

And honestly? That’s the stage a lot of us are in.

That’s why I created Creatives on the Come Up.

Why I Started the Podcast

I wanted to create a space for people who are still building. Not people who have everything figured out. Not people pretending the journey is easy. Just real conversations about what it actually looks like to pursue a career in film and entertainment from the ground up. Because sometimes the hardest part of the journey is feeling like you’re the only one struggling through it. You’re not.

What the Podcast Is About

Creatives on the Come Up is a podcast focused on:

• Navigating the early stages of a creative career

• Dealing with rejection and uncertainty

• Learning how the industry actually works

  
  

You will hear honest stories from people building careers in film, TV, and entertainment. I have conversations with assistants, coordinators, and emerging creatives. The goal is to make this journey feel less isolating and more honest.

The Reality of Starting Out

One thing I’m learning is that most people don’t start with perfect connections, clarity, or confidence. A lot of people are figuring things out in real time. And while social media can sometimes make it seem like everyone else is moving faster, there are so many people quietly trying, applying, growing, and staying consistent behind the scenes.

That matters too.

Who This Is For

This podcast is for:

• The creative trying to get their foot in the door

• The person applying to jobs and hearing nothing back

• The person questioning if they’re on the right path

• The person who feels behind compared to everyone else

If that’s you, I want you to know something: You are not the only one figuring it out.

Final Thoughts

You might not be where you want to be yet, but that doesn’t mean you’re not moving forward.

Sometimes growth looks like:

• Continuing to apply

• Continuing to learn

• Continuing to create

• Continuing to show up even when things feel unclear

  
  

And that’s what Creatives on the Come Up is about.

A place for honest conversations, real growth, and creatives who are still becoming.
