Things have been hard of late and I've really been struggling with identity and purpose but I feel as though it's all getting back on track.

It is with this in mind I'd like to reach out to my connections to see if you know of any oppourtunities I might be suitable for. Seeking a change and something new and exciting whilst I work towards that Oscar ! (:

  • Hi Liam, no short answer to self-discovery, but journalling might be a really helpful tool! Also reading books recommended by people who inspire you. I think it’s difficult when you’ve found your core passion but need almost another space to explore. The challenge however, is that hiring managers will want to know exactly why you’re applying to what you are so you need to be specific to get something which will inspire you. Do the research and try some things out and you’ll gradually get clearer. Good luck! Lex x
  • Hi Liam, sorry to hear it's been tough recently. Although I would argue it's been a strange 18 months for pretty much everyone over the past year and a half!

    Even though I've been making films for over ten years, I can confirm that there is a constant struggle with identity for me even now. What kind of films do I want to make? Or should I make? Or shouldn't make?

    I think you need to decide what path you truly want to follow. Right now I'm not sure whether you want to be an actor, musician or content creator. The next steps for each of those careers is very different so it's hard to know exactly what advice to give you.

    Do you have something that you love above and beyond everything else? And if so, why is that not the thing you're chasing right now?

    Not sure if this will help but maybe it will give you something to think about before taking the next step(s).

    Good luck!
