The film business, like the music and radio broadcasting business, is a RELATIONSHIP DRIVEN BUSINESS. What that means is that it is MORE ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW THAN ANYTHING ELSE. I have never ever hired anyone because of a resume or what film school they went to. I?ve hired people that come recommended from friends and fellow co-workers.
If you want to work in the film business as a Director you better know the craft of directing yes, but more importantly you better have friends, lots of them?The Film Connection program hooks you up with the people doing the hiring.
