85% of people hate their jobs. You could be full-time working in film!

A-Lister Danielle wasn’t just out of college, she’d been in the corporate world for a long time. She was depressed and dissatisfied with her job. She followed the methods in the FIF Craft Certification Program and wound up on set in less than a month. Within ten months, she had developed a name for herself. People come to her because they’ve heard of her. She has jobs flying all around, and works mostly as an assistant director today. That’s an absolutely INSANE pace, and that’s what we want for everyone in our program.

We don’t want people to be stuck as production assistants for 10 years. That’s why our methods are designed to get you on set as soon as possible and give you the necessary tools to move up quickly. It’s our goal for you to be forced to quit your survival job in the corporate world, in food service, wherever, because there’s just too much film work coming in. In short: we want you to be in demand.

Black lives matter thoughts

I thought I had this morning as I am reading the news and learning more about black lives matter, history, oppression and reading about these police forces.

I’m wondering, even in the wake of understanding the racism out there that exists, and it is something that our black people have been putting up with their whole lives, and now the world is getting educated on what that has been and how that feels.

My Story: Breaking into a who-you-know industry

My story: Breaking into a who-you-know industry. I never attended film school, and I am at the top of my field. There is a different way than film school to get into the film industry. Getting on set is a matter of networking with the right people.
