Big Break Pod Trailer

Welcome to Season 1 of The Big Break Podcast. Hi, I'm Thomas M. Copeland. I'm an actor, entrepreneur, and writer. And I'm the creator and host of The Big Break podcast. Our episodes will take you behind the scenes and deep into the professional world of acting, filmmaking, writing, shooting, and directing film, TV, plays, short stories, and other creative passions. We'll talk about the industry's dirtiest words, the business of show business, including how to turn your creative passions and interest into a career, how to court interest and investment from stakeholders, and build a team around your vision that could lead to your next big break. We'll meet with artists who have made careers in show business and discover what was crucial for their success in an industry that's known for being fickle, unpredictable, and a maze of complexity to master in order to find any monocum of sustained success. We'll also explore what it means to be successful in your own creative endeavors, and why that's a fluid mark that's difficult to define much less hit. We'll speak to award -winning producers, writers, creators, and actors about how to operate and present as a professional on and off the set. We'll talk about success and failure. We'll talk about what a cast and director wants to see in you. We'll talk about how to avoid the many scams and waste that the industry spawns. And we'll talk about how creative projects go from being an idea, to a rough plan, to a tangible execution and release. But this show isn't just for actors. We branch out through the season to talk to other professionals, artists, and entrepreneurs about how they're parlaying their creative endeavors into paychecks, careers and beyond. If you're serious about acting, storytelling and creative careers, then join me as we discover the big break that's awaiting for you and me in the episodes ahead. The full season drops September 1st, 2024. In the meantime, I want to hear from you. What do you hope to learn by listening to this show? What are the burning questions you wish you could ask a fellow artist or actor, filmmaker, writer, producer, or casting director? Hit me up at Big BreakPod on Instagram or email Big Breakpot at gmail .com. We want to share your ideas and we want this to be a collaborative effort so that we can find our next Big Break together. Until then, have a creative and productive week.
