LA market temperature check? I have not had STEADY work since the fall of 2022, no real jobs (full rate, project length) since February 2023, and no work at all (cut rate, favors, fill-ins, etc) for a month. Is the industry collapsing or is it just me?

No clue for LA but this is the state of things for NYC. Almost all the editors I know here are struggling. But it’s widespread and producers, even agency creatives are saying the same thing. I’ve never seen it like this.

Same but I’ve had more emails coming in and a couple of bookings. Feels like things might be starting to pick up a bit
