What is Brinkster?
1.
Brinksters are the aspiring hyphenates who have yet to make it in "the (film) industry" and are essentially, on the brink of fame, stardom or whatever you want to call it.
The pathology of the brinkster is predicated upon the hope that tomorrow they can be the next big thing, coupled with the dread that in ten years from now they can be doing the exact same thing.
