  • Summary

  • In this episode we’re addressing the paradoxical problem with starting a career in the film industry as a director: Where do you go to get your first gig? We all know that if you walk onto a Marvel set you’ll be escorted out with security. They say “It’s all about who you know!” But how do you make new contacts in the film industry if you don’t know anyone already? And once you finally meet someone in the industry — how do you convince them to give you a job?

    We’ll answer all these questions as we recount how we’ve cultivated relationships that led to better opportunities and how we’ve made new connections with professional writer/directors, out of thin air. Follow along and get ready to break into the industry!

    In this podcast we mention a video we recently made that gives practical advice on how to have good people skills when you meet people, here’s a link to that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmlkClC1jzs
