HOW TO GET AND SUCCEED IN YOUR FIRST JOB IN THE FILM BUSINESS S E M I N A R O B J E C T I V E
This introductory course covers the basic skills for obtaining an entry-level position in the film business. Additionally, it provides "inside" information and tools to succeed in the high pressure, low tolerance and intensely competitive world of the film business.
S E M I N A R D E S C R I P T I O N Do you dream of selling your script to a studio or directing an Academy Award winning movie? Maybe being the president of a film studio or financing and producing independent films is your passion? Is negotiating a deal on behalf of a major movie star or discovering the next big talent your ambition? Everyone who has accomplished these dreams started somewhere. That somewhere is as an assistant.
No matter what you dream of doing; breaking into the film business is tough. A rare few obtain an executive position straight out of film, law or business school. It is typical to see a recent Wharton MBA graduate in the mailroom at the William Morris Agency or a former banking executive working on a studio executive's desk. Most people have to start at the bottom -- as an assistant. Landing the first job "in the business" is purposefully one of the hardest steps in a film career. The process is designed to separate those who "want it" from those who "really want it". If you "really want it", this course will help you get your first job and succeed in it. The assistant job is the catalyst to great things. It is a chance to see from the ground up how the movie business works and apprentice with established industry professionals. The hours are long and grueling. The demands can be overwhelming. In return, you will have access to people and events that are life changing. Because of this - the competition is fierce. Give yourself an edge over the competition, by learning some invaluable insider information from a former senior development executive/independent producer with over 15 years of experience. |
