How to Get Your Start in the Film Industry
July 23rd - 5:00pm Pacific Time
Looking to get started in the biz, but don’t have a rich Aunt ready to fund your feature film? Should you go to film school? Start as a Production Assistant? Just buy a 4K camera and tell everyone you’re a Director of Photography?
There are multiple paths to building a career in film. We’ll talk about the merits of each, discuss strategies that work, and some that don’t, then open up the floor for your questions.
This online conversation will be led by Matt Krzycki, an instructor at The Power P.A. Course.

A film set has a whole world of unfamiliar terms, unspoken expectations, and industry-specific rules. Thing is, it's a freelance world, so no one has time to teach you the rules . . . but they'll definitely yell at you if you get them wrong. Or, they might just not hire you again.
The good news is, the terms, rules, and expectations are easy to understand if someone takes the time to teach you, and that is exactly what The Power P.A. Course does.
We examine every aspect of succeeding as a Production Assistant, with a focus on moving up to the job you really want.
The training is broken up into skills-based videos that get to the point, and teach you how to succeed on real-world film sets.
