That is the way the world has always worked. It’s about relationships, not industrial merit.

Sometimes those relationships are sound and the ambitions more honest, and other times they are flaky, dishonest or downright fraudulent. And very dimensional gradient between.

You’ll (almost) never get a leading role in a Hollywood blockbuster off the street after an audition. You will maybe get a smaller part. Why? Relationships.

It’s the same everywhere.
