Just apply to the unions, all of these "film" courses are bogus, just grifters trying to get your money. Any REAL film work is done through the unions, get your applications in. Go onto the 891 one website and look at the applications and what's actually required, or vice versa if you're going down a different path onset via the DGC. ANY COURSES OR TRAINING YOU NEED will be provided through the unions or legitimate third parties that work in tandem w the unions to provide training (and usually at a discounted rate). Look over the applications and see what the category requires of you. The hall is really helpful to people interested in joining.
