IFH 842: The Art of Networking in Hollywood – Real Strategies That Work with Erman Baradi & Brandon Waites

IFH 842: The Art of Networking in Hollywood – Real Strategies That Work with Erman Baradi & Brandon Waites

Erman Baradi and Brandon Waites share practical, real-world advice on how to network effectively in Hollywood without coming across as desperate or transactional. Drawing from their own journeys — from military service and film school to building strong online presences — they explain why relationships, not scripts, are the true currency of the film industry. Their discussion highlights the importance of patience, professionalism, and respecting everyone from assistants to executives.

The episode also explores common networking mistakes, the power of mentorship, and why building connections before moving to Los Angeles can dramatically increase your odds of success. Through their platform, The Film Empire, they aim to create opportunities that prioritize long-term relationships over short-term wins. It’s an honest conversation about the reality of breaking into Hollywood — and the mindset required to stay in it.
