STARTING YOUR CAREER
Starting a career in film or television requires on-set experience. Many young professionals gain this experience by freelancing or working as a Production Assistant on sets.
We recommend starting with a studio-sponsored Page Program or starting with a Talent Agency. Both of these opportunities can be great for networking and getting a sense of the “behind the scenes” aspect of your industry.
