“Part of your job is to be rejected,” Steve Goldbloom says, and offers great inspiration for developing chutzpah and surviving failure and thriving. This far-ranging conversation talks about social media and handling feedback on your work, the collaborative effort of film-making and why Steve will never again direct, write and act in one film, the secrets of great interviews, long form v. short, comedy and tension, nano-budget filmmaking, the golden age of television (i.e. now), improving and taking risks as a performer, looking back at old, old work, and strategies for trusting yourself and really going for it. Loads of humor and fire-you-up motivation. Further topics include: mining autobiographical material and using exaggeration, believing you have something to offer, and ignoring both props and barbs when it comes to your creative work.
