How do I join the film industry?
I love movies. I want to be involved in making them. Does anyone here know anything about the film financing/producing industry? It seems like such a a glamorous job: find movie investment opportunities--> evaluate them--> watch the film come to fruition--> profits. Looks like PE/VC, but for movies instead of companies. I'm guessing I have a naive view of how this industry, which is why I'm here. Does anyone know about this world? Would a background in high finance set me up or would I have to get in another way? And of course, how well would it pay? Enlighten me please.
My buddy Harvey always told me that the best way to break in and advance your career in the film industry is to bend over and let your superior really pound out the career opportunities into you.
Great. For banking I have to pretend to be gay to get in, but for movies I actually have to prove it.
