Exactly.
Hollywood is like the major leagues. I've run into people from NYC/London/Australia (places with film industries) who are here looking for the next big step. The same is true for many of the social media stars. (The NY Times had a article last year or so that documented many popular Instagrammers live in one apartment complex at Holywood and Vine) I've also read/heard recently LA took over the Podcast capital from NYC due to the entertianment crowd.
I'm guessing it's like this for Silicon Valley too. It's a different level.
