So you want to be a filmmaker? Not sure if films school is for you? You want to get out there and leave your mark on the world? Well, before you get too crazy, listen to some advice from Chris and Nick Staron, creators of the films Bringing up Bobby and Between the Walls. These guys have some real world advice for people who are looking to break into the industry.
It all boils down to one bit of advice: intern. Get out there and work for free to see if you like it in the first place. Any time you are considering a career, we strongly recommend that you go and spend time within that field before committing yourself. Sure beats 4 years of film school to find out!
We look at some important questions:
Should I go to film school?
How do I break into Hollywood?
Where can I find internships in the film industry?
Can I make a living as a Christian actor?
In this episode we take a break from our usual Christian comedy podcast/ This American Life style show to bring you some important information. But don’t worry — there are still plenty of great episodes in the archives.
During the podcast we mention an outline that you can use when considering whether or not to go into the film business. Download that document here.
