Tips For Independent Filmmakers
Hire well-trained professionals at the BEGINNING of their earning curve.

The state of California requires all VOCATIONAL schools to maintain a job placement
service.  

Therefore, to hire extremely well trained technicians at a price below the normal rate, contact
the job placement officer and ask for a recent graduate.  

You don’t want a student who is still learning.  But the more experience the graduate has, the
higher his price will be.  Recent graduates are often available.  Call the school for referrals.
