Want to make it in the movie industry? Start talking positively. Even when things are tough, believing in a good outcome can actually help make it real. Your mindset matters more than you think.

Ever been on the fence about a movie? A simple agreement can seal the deal. But then the filmmaker's legal team adds red lines... and suddenly, you're out. It's happened more than once.
