[Fmpro] Working outside L.A./ relocating to Tampa Bay, Florida

[Ted Peterson]

I live between LA and San Fran. on the coast of California. I miss a  
lot of work I would normally have in LA. The biggest problem is  
production meetings and meetings with producers/directors. In my  
experience, they call and slot you into a time. If you can't make it,  
you're out as a candidate. If you're late, forget it. This, of  
course, doesn't apply if they seek you out but if you are pitching  
it's a lot harder.  I tried to postpone a meeting because my son had  
to get a leukemia treatment. They simply axed me from the prospects.
