- How do you get into the film industry without film school?
Here is a short documentary on how it’s done. 6 steps. First thing is answering the question what do you want to do in the film industry?
1. Get very clear on what job you want to do. Research as much as you can about that on Google and TH-cam. I can tell you upfront that actually seeing somebody do that job is going to be what is the most valuable. That’s how you’re going to be able to see if this is something that you really want to do.
2. Next I want you to think about what kind of knowledge do you need to have about that job that most people don’t have. My motto: Do more than what anybody else would think of doing.
3. Build your own professional connections. Professional connections you only make on set. You can make friends at film school, but these will be people who are trying to get into the professional film industry. You’re not going to make professional connections at film school.
4. You need to be on film sets every week learning your craft from professionals. Every week you should learn something major that will help you in your career.
5. The next step is to make a list of people that are in your area that are doing the job that you want to do. Put on that list all of the people that you’ve met on set that you think are really good, that are doing the job that you want to do as well as working in departments that work with your department.

Funny that I'm just now discovering these channels. I'm a commercial director and I have started a channel in hopes to help filmmakers out there
Awesome!
Thank you so much for the advice! How to do this when I have a day job ... I'll have to figure it out.
This is perfect! Thankyou for posting this.
You're welcome!
Love this
Thanks for the great advice
Amazing documentary.
I'm from Italy, 35yo, and i've been researching Surround Sound audio creation/mixing since I was 15yo.
Started with a small AIO Home Theater, then I moved on to actual Pro Tools/Dolby/DTS technologies and a proper pro HT.
Other than that, in the past 3 years, I also studied A LOT about screenwriting as well, and I actually thought about writing a feature script as well.
I'm from Sicily, so there are actually no people in my area from the industry.
I should probably move to the USA someday.
Amazing work! You'd be surprised what kind of filming goes around in your country. Start where you are and then move.
I am currently running a free mini-course to give you an overview of the fastest way to get paid work in the film industry. Feel free to join here: filmcareerlaunch.com/

@@officialfriendsinfilm Thanks dear.
Very helpful video! Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Your house looks awesome 👌 nice advise
Thanks for saving a huge amount of money
Hey Janet! I got your course for FIF years ago. Lots of travel vlogging and life experiences later.. im back! Ill be returning to all course work today and getting my butt into gear here in my local sector of Chicago.
Not going to lie, the idea of film school and making friends plus the college experienceat UCLA seems quite twinkly, however i realize that im really interested in working in the film industry doing what i love first and foremost.
Instead of making friends with students its more important and literally the entire point to be on set, making collegeaus, and actually getting paid
Very Interesting - Thanks .
You're welcome!
Hiiii
Are you quitting me? That's what I was looking and hear about film. Hiiii, you were the person I was looking for with your beautiful advice. Your advice is great and credibly true and immensely helpful. Thank you, thank you & may God continue to bless you and your loved ones and everything you love and give you long life, you are a beautiful human being. From San Jose CA. Manuel N loves you.
lovely video
Thank you. :)
Most jobs in film are grunt jobs like Grips, Painters, etc... If you want a DP job or a writing job or Directing the competition is through the roof.
How do I get into the A list program? I want you to be my mentor! 🧡🧡🧡
Perfect
Thanks!

I AGREE about being on set but I have NO IDEA how to get on professional sets. I'm currently the sole videographer at a church and my time is very flexible but I know that randomly emailing professionals is going to get me ignored because they don't know me. How can I start building relationships with these people to even have the CHANCE to work for free on these professional sets??
try going to film events or looking for positions to be a production assistant and start networking from there
I love the orange color of that house 🏠
Thank you! How nice of you to say!
I went to school for Audio Engineering (doesn't matter, I know) and I'm looking to get into the exact same path as you, Location Sound Mixer. Do you have any good sources, outside from yourself, on learning detail about the job? I understand it will look something like this > PA > Sound PA > Sound Tech > Boom OP > Mixer.
I would just do my program and I'll help you.

What if you actually do have film school knowledge along with Acting, Writing, Directing, Producing, Editing and Sound and also Lighting? I’m asking because Acting has mainly been my dream since I was a kid, I have done a few acting things along with some of the other things I listed and live in Arizona and not California anymore. Is there any info, tips or pointers for this?
That's great that you are working on your craft. Having knowledge will get you in even sooner. Now you need to know how to make those connections in the business.

@@officialfriendsinfilm quick question would the market for doing the friends in film be better in Phoenix like we had talked about or would Vegas be a better choice?
Asking because I’ve been thinking of moving back to Vegas.
Hi i live outside America
Any advice on how to get a scholarship to do a BA in Film? I am Canadian by want to do a degree in The American University In Cairo. Thks in advance
Film school is one way. The other way is getting on set and learning directly from film professionals and earning at the same time. Check out the free mini-course: filmcareerlaunch.com/
The methods can be applied anywhere in the world. It's about attitude and who you know.
But how do you get on film sets?
Hi I follow you and the great work you do. Am from Zambia in Africa I would love to learn from you am a film maker I would love to connect with you probably to help me connect with filmmakers who can help me grow in this industry. I will be happy to here your response soon

I am very sorry to say NONE of this has worked for me at all. I'm an award-winning filmmaker here in the UK and its a lot harder that you are making out. I've been making films for 24 years and I currently have 5 films in 86 film festivals and I have not got an agent or am working in the industry. Though, I am filming my 3rd feature, I currently am not working, not because I choose not to. We have a recession in the UK and its horrible.
how do you get on sets tho
Hey thanks for the question and is addressed in the free mini course. Here is the link: filmcareerlaunch.com

Hey! I teach people how to get into the film industry.
The A-list model shows you how to get on your first 20 shoots, build a base of connections of people that call you for film work, create a body of work while you are working on those professional sets so that people know you for your brand.

@@officialfriendsinfilm ok thank you
You cannot simply join "the clan".
I failed film school
You don't need film school to get on set and work. Most people that I teach haven't gone to film school and are working full-time in the film industry. It's about who you know and your attitude. Let me show you some things in the free mini-course: filmcareerlaunch.com/
And I in charge of my money I have a disability my parents are in charge of my money, and they do my taxes for me
Youre not telling the truth. Nobody can just hang around a "professional set". And if you're there as a cook, no Editor or Dir or DP will care.
Did you go to film school ? GREAT TRANSPARENT CONTENT ❤ may I have your email?
I did not go to film school. I started in National Geographic. I now share the methods I applied with my students. info@friendsinfilm.com
