My interest in film centers around Hollywood, so parts of this article refer to life and success there. If your interests are instead centered around New York, Miami, Toronto, or any other city, don't despair! The advice here will generally work for any market. Hollywood is one of the most competitive and difficult markets to enter. Therefor, if you know how to make it in Hollywood, you can surely make it elsewhere. More generally, my advice may be applied to all of the programs at Full Sail. Tactics in Film can be applied to Television, Gaming, Multimedia, Audio Recording, and Show Production without much change. The main difference is that Film tends to move much more rapidly and is more dynamic than any of the other fields (with the possible exception of the music industry). So instead of having to handle ten different tasks at once, you may have the luxury of only having to address two or three at a time. All the better I say!
