How can you get into the entertainment industry?

Answer 1

If you want to get into the entertainment industry you should go modeling searches, talent searches, and most of all SCOUTING AGENCIES. make shure you have a portfolio made before you try these things it helps a lot:)

I don't know how this works, I guess I'm adding onto someone else's answer, so here goes: First of all, I am a bit leery of "modeling searches, talent searches, and scouting agencies." Many of them are making money off of you. Second of all, the question asked is how you can get into the entertainment industry. I don't think a camera operator, film editor, or production designer are going to have much luck at a modeling search.

If you want to get into the entertainment industry, you have to do your research. The main production hubs in the US are in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Orlando/Miami. Plenty of other cities are up and coming because of tax incentives. If you don't live in a city where the work is and you want to be in the industry, you have to move to where the work is. You may choose to go to school first to get a better education at your craft. Or if you're older and don't want to go back to school, reaching out to working people in the industry as business advice and guidance mentors, is a great way to go. - The Greenlight Coach.
