Week 5 EOC Progress towards my 4 professional contacts and progress networking.

Due to the fact that I do not have a car anymore, it is very difficult for me to go out to various events and meet contacts for networking, let alone getting business cards. Not that I have not tried. Every time I would like to go to an event, I ask a “friend” or someone with a vehicle and %90 of them give me the cold shoulder, basically tell me in a nice way that they cannot take me. The other %10 just straight up tell me no. Losing my car in that accident last year really hurt me because now its damn near impossible to go anywhere. I am in the process of saving up for a car, but it is kind of hard to with the way my credit is right now, the people I financed my last car through are still saying I owe them $11,000, my insurance only paid for the cash value of the car, the people I financed through are adding the interest and everything else, I refuse to pay for a car that I am no longer driving, so with all this happening it is difficult for me to save for a new car. But once I get my new car, I will be able to go to various film events, meet contacts, network myself and get business cards. But until then, I am at the mercy of my mother for transportation, because it is obvious for me that I cannot rely on other people or my “friends”. So to put it bluntly, my progress is not going so good and I am doing what I can to make this happen.
