Hi Sandra ,

I have friends who have worked in the film industry. You challenge as you enter the film industry is to think about what you want to do in film. There are many jobs within the industry, even people who make food. In some ways, you need to figure out what career you want to have and then go to work for a company that makes films.

Grace’s Answer

So I am 100% NOT an expert in film so just providing some general career advice. First, think about what you really love to do--are you into acting? Do you like to coordinate big projects (production), write (screenwriting), film content (camera)......then maybe see if you can get an internship with someone who can help you determine the right fit?

Maybe you would benefit from getting in contact with the Kansas City Film organization http://www.kcfilmoffice.com/ and see how they might be able to help? Volunteering with them would get you some exposure;.

If you decide what specifically you are interested in then take a look at colleges that have programs you think are a good fit and reach out to their alumni on LinkedIn (for those who are in film).

Hopefully some of these steps can help you get to a decision.

Grace recommends the following next steps:

Research all aspects of film making and determine where your interests lie
Try for a local internship at a film production company
Contact the Kansas City Film Office
Research colleges with programs of interest
Reach out via LinkedIn to film school alumni
Thank you comment icon Thank you, this is really helpful. Sandra
