I kind of think that the way people consume media these days, there are a lot more opportunities to work in film than there ever were before. Now that the number of streaming services are making their own Contant, you can work for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Apple, as well as all the major studios. Lots of people and making movies these days. Not a bad field to go into and because we’re unionize the wages are pretty decent.

I get it. I love film but haven’t considered it as much as I should be.

I think you have the right idea to Major in both business and the arts. I don’t think you can go wrong.

If you end up up here, definitely reach out. I work in film and if you just want to bum around a set, and be a PA some summer as a summer job I could help you find a project, or at least help you connect with people.

Oh wow that sounds great. I really am feeling it strongly in my heart to pursue. I had actually wanted to be a filmmaker since my earliest memories of dreaming, this is something I definitely need to work on. It’s so hard with the competition, it really silences your believing in yourself sometimes. I’d love to connect if possible. Do you have an Instagram or something? Is there an email or anything to lock it in?

They are both super intertwined

The only thing to consider is definitely the price of entry. Also considering I am out of state…

I should def take a step back and reconsider going into the film industry and applying for that as another thing I could do.

There is difficulty in choosing which thing to attack first, I just know I don’t love tech so much currwntly since I’m so weak at understanding it

Find some thing that you’re good at and that you also like. After getting a degree in biology I ended up working in the Arts which is kind of a strange career trajectory for me but I am more arts oriented and it just worked out that way. There are a lot of paths you can take, And who knows, you may end up somewhere completely different but if you love Massachusetts, come on back. We got lots of good stuff up here. And if you’re happy, it makes it easier to work hard and focus on your future.
