Im 22 and live in boston and in the last year or so have decided to try to go into video/tv production. I've been doing sound mixing since my teens and have worked for a company doing small concerts and the sort of thing and in the last few years had a lot of interest in video and the entire process from writing to directing to editing. Im still not exactly sure what I area I want to go into but im hoping to discover in the next few years. I was in the trades so last year went to a community school to build up credits and my plan is to graduate with my associates next spring. Im not sure where to go from here. I am looking at state colleges with film/tv programs as well as film schools. But im curious what other options i have. I am a very hands on person and dont do well in the classroom. I am a quick learner and know how to work my ass off for someone and love being under pressure. Are there any programs out there that I'm able to join that give me access to this sort of stuff?Im really looking into making a career in this rather then simply just trying to make millions off my first movie and become a big shot director. so just looking for someone to talk to as i just to sort this stuff outIm really looking into making a career in this rather then simply just trying to make millions off my first movie and become a big shot director. so just looking for someone to talk to as i just to sort this stuff out

The normal thing for people like yourself is to start working as a PA. Try to end up with the sound guys, since you have some experience. Working on films is a good experience, even if you later decide to go to film school, and you learn a lot.

try talking to some people at your local t.v. station and askthem i dont know what city you live in but that the best wayi can think of for you to try to get your foot in the door in that business. (and hey good luck ) .
