INSF President Bobby Bishop spoke with Paul Fishman from ABC’s hit show Dancing With The Stars. Mr. Fishman shares how he gained success in Hollywood and gives his opinion on networking in the entertainment industry.

“Trust me when I say it isn’t easy to make it big in the entertainment industry. It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get into the position I’m in today; but actually it took even more phone calls, emails, and every other type of networking tool available for me to achieve the level of success I have. Networking is the key to entry into the world of professional entertainment. It’s also the driver for long-term survival in this business. It is the friend from college who gets you a job on his next feature film, or the writer you meet at a social networking event that you collaborate with on your next script. It’s a crazy unorganized spider web but it’s the life force behind the entertainment industry. Never forget, the next person you meet could be your big break!”
