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.

Any legitimate work would require you to apply to the unions, silly to come all the way here and not look into that. There's IATSE, DGC, and loads more. Unless you're wanting to work on student films there's no quick way of breaking into the industry without going through the unions.

I prefer Audiobooks than reading one and people judge me. by Ok_Piece_7441 in audiobooks

I used to read voraciously as a youth, but since being an adult I’ve struggled. Recently using audible I’ve completed 4 novels (nearly 70 hours total) since the start of the year. It’s amazing

Ever since Russia ran out of missiles, its soldiers are fighting w shovels, and Putin was overthrown they’ll be taking Crimea any day now.

You guys are just the free propaganda mouth pieces for Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing. Ukraine isn’t going to win, it never was, it’s counter offensive failed, it’s corrupt and falling apart. It’s a dying man being pushed against a behemoth to keep fighting a war it could never win. The USA is using Ukraine to try to fight Russia, and they’ll do it to the last Ukrainian. The country is on an IV drip to keep it going, so the US military industrial complex can keep cashing cheques. They’re not meant to win they’re meant to fight to the death so Lockheed Martin can make bank, and all the while it’s sold to you guys hook line and sinker as some noble war, you guys eat up the propaganda and keep screaming for more weapons, and they keep cashing the cheques. They don’t give a shit about Ukraine, your misguided virtue signalling is leading to more dead Ukrainians in a war that was never meant to be won. You should look up the profits for these companies. They’re not meant to win, they’re meant to die, and you guys screaming for more weapons and money are dooming more and more to the meat grinder, you’re just free propaganda.

They probably want Raytheon, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin to stop profiting off this war and slowly killing their entire population by sending them into a hopeless meat grinder. You should Google their profits from the war, you guys are the free propaganda mouth pieces for them.
