4. A FREE CAREER GUIDANCE COUNSELING SESSION
CONDUCTED FROM TIME TO TIME. NONE SCHEDULED AT THIS TIME.
The motion picture business is currently undergoing some massive changes.
Major studios have announced a reduction in film production!. Independent
Producers are to fill the gap. Are you ready for this colossal change and other
enormous changes yet to come? New paths must be taken for modern day career
advancement, especially for Writers, Producers, Directors, and Actors.
Modern day practical shortcuts for fast track career paths should be taken by FILM
SCHOOL GRADS and aspiring Directors, Producers, Writers, Actors, Production
Managers, Script Supervisors, Costumers, Location Scouts, Location Managers,
and Distributors. Many of these proven paths with the changes will be revealed at
this seminar.
Each person can skip many, many years of ladder climbing towards their film career
objectives by jumping over most entry-level aspirants and their years of totally
unnecessary entry level experience as a P.A. or as an Assistant-To-Somebody-
Important. You can pass them by and start your career in a key job as a film
DEPARTMENT HEAD rather than as a lowly assistant!
LEARN HOW YOU CAN GET PAID TO LEARN HOW TO BE A FILM DIRECTOR, A WRITER,
OR A MOTION PICTURE ACTOR!!!.
Why take the long slow painful career path chosen by many of today's hopefuls?
Especially when the great majority of those aspiring hopefuls never ever succeed
in fulfilling their film dreams at all.
Hundreds of thousands of film school graduates with earned degrees in film have
failed to reach their objectives to make a living in films. Hundreds of thousands
cannot even get into the business to make that living.
You can truly have a greatly enlarged opportunity for film success much earlier
than most of the few getting in if you know the inside shortcut ropes taught at
Cinema Arts Tech, even if you do not have a film degree or a high school diploma
you have an excellent chance to make it!
Filmmakers' aspirations for a successful career are born of dreams and inspired by
passion. Being a dreamer is not enough. Being partly trained or inadequately
trained is not enough. A film degree is not enough. A self-imposed impression of
exceptional personal talent and ability is not enough. Filmmaking is not a fantasy.
It is a reality. We create film fantasy. Learn how to do that!
Capturing your dreams with artistic and financial success and reaching your film
objectives is best achieved with top professional guidance based on the
experience of the mentors. Do you think you can learn something from some of
the accomplished "Big Guns" of the industry?
No high school diploma is necessary to work in film. Nor is a degree of any kind
required. But JOB SKILLS to perform the tasks are critical, necessary, mandatory,
essential. There is currently a pronounced shortage of theatrical feature film
skilled professional Producers, Directors, and Production Managers and
technicians in the biz. You can help fill the needs. Learn skills for easier access
to working as a filmmaker or a key department head on film jobs. Learn what it
takes for you to enter the next generation of film moguls.
