Working Relationships in Film

April 2nd 2008 14:27
This Pamela Jaye Smith’s Mythworks) way of working relationships in the film industry:

And by the way, I'd gotten the job as Location Casting Director for Paramount through the Texas Film Commission in Austin. If you're not quite ready to move to Hollywood, at least start working on productions in your area so you begin to build your network.

"On my own I applied for and got work at Universal Studios where I was in production for four years on TV series, "Movies of the Week," and features. Contacts from those years have lasted for a very long time and I still do business with some of the same people as we've all moved along in our careers. Some are among my very best friends and we consider each other family."

One of the best ways to develop lasting relationships is to work on a project by joining an industry or professional trade association, such as Women In Film (WIF), Northern California Writers and Artists, Independent Feature Producer's West, International Documentary Association (IDA) and College Alumni Associations. It's a good networking device, plus there's an inherent tendency to hire "one's own" when it comes to the film schools or state loyalties.

According to Pamela Jaye Smith, her educational institution, the University of Texas at Austin, has great alumni. Probably so do other schools.
