BLOG QUESTION BEG/ADV: LUCASFILM FIELDTRIP

After screening the show and hearing the talented artists at Lucasfilm, what insight or piece of advice from their experience in filmmaking and visual storytelling stood out to you the most?

I found it refreshing to hear from professionals who are still very passionate about their jobs. Despite it being an unpredictable time in the industry, they all had their own ways of staying in touch with their motivations and they still have the drive to continue putting 100% effort into their work. It was nice to hear from a professional that prioritizing your mental and physical health is the most important part of developing as an artist, and that maximizing the amount of projects you work on isn't going to get you there if you're not mentally prepared for it. I also found it motivating to hear that "rejection is redirection", I think it's a very helpful piece of advice because a lot of artists get discouraged when they dont land a role/position they've been looking forward to, but trying again and exploring different pathways can help you cope with rejection.
