Breaking into the industry
How do films get made? How do film sets run? Who’s in charge? What’s the difference between film, television and streaming? More importantly, how do I make money?
After a long brutal four years from the pandemic, to the double strikes from WGA and SAG, accompanied with terrible box office flops, Hollywood is trying it’s best to stop the hemorrhaging of money. Whether they learn from their mistakes, or not, is up for discussion.
Hollywood is going through major changes and will affect the industry as we know it. Money from well established production studios are leaving California, and a huge wave of independent studios are making a come back. They’re all looking to make productions in states with tax incentives and Texas is a big player. Austin, Dallas, San Antonio and Houston will be getting some “action.”
What does this mean for you?
This business can make or break you. Setting yourself up for success is crucial. Like a surfer, to catch a wave, you need to position yourself and be ready to paddle, before it forms.
When I first started in the industry, over 20 years ago, I had many obstacles. One of the most difficult things I dealt with was having access to information.
Where do I start? Where do I look? Who do I call? How do I get my foot in the door?
Malibu, CA. On Location for “Dead to Me” Season 3
Film school was my best option. However, that is not the only way to break into this industry. I looked at my situation and realized I needed contacts, leads, and access to a working network. It wasn’t easy after film school. With hard work and determination, I finally landed a gig. However, once I made it on to a set, I had new concerns.
How do I carry myself? What do I do? What’s expected of me? How do I communicate? Who’s in charge? Who’s concerns do I prioritize? How do I keep from making a fool of myself? Who’s trying to make a fool of me?
Like the surfer, once you catch a wave you need to balance and not wipe out. And if you do, you need to be able to get back on the board. Also, you need to keep an eye out for danger, these are shark infested waters!
The wave is coming.
Are you ready to catch it?
