There can be emotional hurdles for workers who decide to step a foot outside the business, even if they’re not leaving entirely or forever. “I think the biggest challenge is more about people’s mindset,” says Christina Blumer, the executive director of the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation, which offers grants for career counseling or retraining to professionals in the theatrical exhibition, distribution and vendor spaces. “People have this idea that ‘I work in the movie industry and this is what I do.’ And what’s really challenging for folks is that emotional attachment … to try and shift that or say, ‘Circumstances have changed.’”
