>> It's really important to be open minded to all the possibilities if you're a film maker.
If you want to be a director, that more than likely is not going to be your first job,
and to be able to get into doing that you have to establish a,
a group of individuals who trusts you and knows you.
And so you may start out as a production assistant,
and your next job may be a production assistant in a different department,
and then you may jump departments, and then ultimately you may end
up in the department that you want to be in.
Or you may start off doing locations,
and then the next time you're actually working, you know in production design.
Be opened to the possibilities of where people want to employ you,
if they see that you work hard, they're going to keep working with you.
And if ultimately you feel like you are stuck in that position, then it's your decision,
if you can take a step back and try to work
on writing a script, and developing your own content.
Maybe you've saved up enough money or maybe you've actually met enough people,
you've met enough people to get the script in the right hands.
Who knows what connections you've made along the way, but staying in the industry
and staying connected, maybe making lateral moves, is important, or making small moves
up into the departments you want to get close to, they're all important.
