How to get a film job

Film Stuff podcast

How exactly do you get a job in the film industry? The same way you get any job: a good network and a good ask. In this one we talk all about the ask. It's our guide outlining how to successfully cold contact people - that includes people you know and people you'd like to know - without coming off like the world's biggest douchenozzle. We also tell you straight up how to work with us. Soo Zee even writes (a really good!) fictional email to Leigh. Hopefully this will help you adopt the right mindset and land a film job, wherever you happen to be living. Happy hunting! Show notes: • The "Directors Chair" lawn chair Soo Zee uses as furniture in her bedroom in action! https://twitter.com/ltcooper/status/937607138158952449 • Calvin Stowell's excellent Twitter thread (rant?) about writing resumes https://twitter.com/calvinstowell/status/900166100167651329 • We didn't actually get to the networking part (I smell a part 2 one day) but just for funsies, Mark Sister has two great articles on (1) how to do conferences right and (2) how to not be a conference ho. 1. https://bothsidesofthetable.com/this-post-has-nothing-to-do-with-sxsw-32f982be007c 2. https://bothsidesofthetable.com/be-careful-not-to-become-a-conference-ho-8add822b2c75
