What Comes After an Entry-Level Job?

from The No Film School Podcast · host No Film School

Many Americans grew up with the idea that there is a set career ladder that they can climb if they work hard enough - but unfortunately, it doesn’t quite work this way in the film industry. In this episode, we talk about... Whether or not Hollywood has a career ladder, whether the way the system currently works makes it impossible to move up in the industry, and who is trying to change the system. How frustrating it is that when you want to make a slight career change, it’s hard to make lateral transitions without starting at the very bottom. How opportunities in the industry are still limited to mostly serve people of a certain class, a certain race, and a certain gender. The fact that there is an expectation for people to spend their twenties working overtime at the poverty level just to move up in their career. Why there should be more mentorship opportunities in the film industry. Blender, a free tool for model-building from Adobe! Whether or not to form an LLC.
