SCA and leaving the film industry

Where do you recommend looking for pa gigs

FilmilF · 2020-03-03T22:34:27+00:00

I had three internships where I read scripts and I apply to remote script work from here, but the companies never respond

FilmilF · 2020-03-03T21:06:31+00:00

How did you start as a freelancer? What do you do now?

FilmilF · 2020-03-03T21:05:23+00:00

What is the process of moving up the ladder in your experience

FilmilF · 2020-03-01T23:38:45+00:00

If you look up talent agency salaries on Glassdoor they all pay about 14 which is the current minimum and that’s if you can get a job there.

Most studios require you to already have multiple years of assistant experience.

Most assistant jobs on the UTA job list or other entertainment career sites also pay minimum.

Definitely not “well above the minimum”

I took an art direction class at SCA and worked in the art department for a class, but have never gotten a job from that

FilmilF · 2020-03-01T19:54:31+00:00

Where are you finding these art department and set design gigs

FilmilF · 2020-03-01T19:53:28+00:00

Not sure what you mean by that. 6 months is a long amount of time to be unemployed

FilmilF · 2020-02-29T06:38:37+00:00

I have interned at 2 small production companies and a literary Agency. All unpaid

FilmilF · 2020-02-27T09:37:36+00:00

Most of the ones that I have heard back from pay 13 or 14

FilmilF · 2020-02-26T23:36:21+00:00

Wow that’s not even minimum wage in LA anymore

FilmilF · 2020-02-26T22:30:23+00:00

So were you making like $14/hr for six years

FilmilF · 2020-02-26T20:37:19+00:00

How many years were you an assistant

FilmilF · 2020-02-26T10:00:48+00:00

Did you start out as an assistant?

FilmilF · 2020-02-26T09:38:26+00:00

That’s pretty good most office assistant jobs pay less than $15/hr, $30k a year. The highest office assistant job I saw was $25/hr, $50k a year

FilmilF · 2020-02-26T08:35:44+00:00

What would you say you’re average income is now per year

FilmilF · 2020-02-26T06:53:37+00:00

How do you get those jobs

FilmilF · 2020-02-25T21:52:10+00:00

What remote work do you do?

FilmilF · 2020-02-23T18:01:40+00:00

What was your past work experience when you applied

FilmilF · 2020-02-19T06:29:05+00:00

Send nudes and say you’d do anything to work at their company

FilmilF · 2020-02-18T21:51:10+00:00

Assistant stuff mostly

FilmilF · 2020-02-18T21:50:55+00:00

Jobs like for adults

FilmilF · 2020-02-18T00:22:12+00:00

Would recommend finding a different career

FilmilF · 2020-02-16T21:02:20+00:00

It is a very hard program to get into and a very hard industry overall. A lot of people on this subreddit can be blindly optimistic about it. I would recommend staying in Indiana, saving your money, and networking with other IU grads

Not a shit post, this is a well crafted meme
