PART 8
CAREER TRACK
Part 8 (Chapters 45 through 47) is concerned with setting your sights on a career. This involves making a self-assessment for film school and beyond, choosing a place of study, and initiating the planning and self-directedness that begins in film school if you want to launch yourself into making films for a living. It also deals with getting recognition in festivals for your film work and how to use this to leverage a job.
Do use the checklist at the end when you want to refresh your memory of this part.
