How do you get into the film industry without film school?
Here is a short documentary on how it’s done. 6 steps. First thing is answering the question what do you want to do in the film industry?
1. Get very clear on what job you want to do. Research as much as you can about that on Google and RU-vid. I can tell you upfront that actually seeing somebody do that job is going to be what is the most valuable. That’s how you’re going to be able to see if this is something that you really want to do.
2. Next I want you to think about what kind of knowledge do you need to have about that job that most people don’t have. My motto: Do more than what anybody else would think of doing.
3. Build your own professional connections. Professional connections you only make on set. You can make friends at film school, but these will be people who are trying to get into the professional film industry. You’re not going to make professional connections at film school.
4. You need to be on film sets every week learning your craft from professionals. Every week you should learn something major that will help you in your career.
5. The next step is to make a list of people that are in your area that are doing the job that you want to do. Put on that list all of the people that you’ve met on set that you think are really good, that are doing the job that you want to do as well as working in departments that work with your department.
