I was able to have a few meetings, and signed with a management company. " The competition has been very helpful because my finalist placement gave me the confidence to reach out to managers, and to friends who could recommend me to managers, to help take the next step in my career. And while I ended up with a lot of redlines on my spreadsheet, I’m getting more and more blues and that keeps me going. In 2020, I applied to about 200 different opportunities in total.

I mark rejections in red, wins and finalist placements in blue. I now keep an Excel spreadsheet of contests, jobs, festivals, and opportunities that I apply to. But in the process, I learned a lot about what the industry is looking for. I didn’t have a steady job for the first two years I lived here and was just scraping by on savings and odd gigs.

James: Winning the competition has been enormously helpful to us in terms of gaining exposure for the project and providing us with networking opportunities. And guess what? He did! He flew out two weeks later, pitched me American Alligator, and we just got started on that. I was at a really low ebb, and so my wife called James and told him he should come over to California and that he and I should write something together. I sent it to him, he read it, and told me what I already knew – that it was good but far too angry and sad to ever be commercial. I wrote a script out of that pain and realised I had no-one to send it to who would care, other than my dear old friend James back in England. My mother and father had both just passed away and basically nothing seemed to be going right. It was the summer of 2019, I hadn’t worked as an actor in two years and I was thirty-two. "Chris: The funny thing is, AMERICAN ALLIGATOR actually came about precisely because I did want to quit.
