I am currently in school working towards a BFA in tech theatre, Lighting and Sound focus. I am aware of many resources for careers and career paths in the theatre industry, but film and TV has always sounded interesting to me.
I am curious what the best resources out there for someone looking to find out more of that half of our industry, both for careers and forum type things.
I know at the moment it's a bit murky, but I am still in school for over a year, so I'd like to at least have an idea what to expect before I graduate.
From the research I have done, especially from Reddit, there are some job postings sites(which you have to pay for, which kind of makes sense, but is also annoying) and like much of our industry is based on contacts. I also know it's probably a good idea to be located on the west coast/LA area, I currently live in Michigan, but have considered the real possibility of moving soon after graduating, assuming I can find a decent job.
Thanks for any insight.
PS: I still see myself being involved in the theatre world in some capacity, but wouldn't mind switching it up, besides, film/TV seems like it might get back to full force sooner than our industry, due to the lack of live audiences and more flexibility for the considerations of the coronavirus.
