Seeking job in a Video Production Firm

Hello...

This is Manoj from India. I recently did a twenty five minute short film and it was screened during many International Film Festivals and also won an award. I am looking forward to start a career with a firm that produces Corporate Films, Ad Films, Promotional Videos, Music Videos, Documentaries, Television Productions or any Video Productions of such kind. I am ready to work anywhere in the world. If anyone can help me, please mail me at manojormanu@gmail.com and I will forward my portfolio.

Thank You.
 
Welcome to IT! I hate to say it, but you're probably not going to get any job offers from anyone on this website, but that's only because the people who frequent IT tend to be here for reasons other than that.

However, I do think you should stick around for other reasons. First, this is a great place to learn from others who are more experienced than you. This is a great place to just ask questions.

In addition to that, over time, relationships can be formed. There are a small handful of people whom I've worked with in real life that I met on this forum. It's easy to scoff at online friendships as if they're not real, but sometimes they're real.

As for your pursuit of getting a job at a production company, I'd recommend relocating to a major metropolis, if you aren't already in one. I have a couple of friends who now work professionally at commercial production firms and they both got their start by volunteering as apprentices. You can get your foot in the door by volunteering as a production assistant. No experience is required for this position. Be punctual, work hard, and don't complain. Make yourself a valuable asset. Once you've put in a little bit of time as a PA, you can ask about an apprenticeship.

At least, that's about as good as I can describe what my two friends did. I'm a restaurant worker, haha!

Best of luck! You can make it happen.
 
Hi Crack,

Thank you for your suggestion but I am afraid things do not follow a systematic or organized route in my nation. I am not complaining or blaming but that has been my experience. I could be wrong but 90% of time, they offer you an apprentice only if you are within the team or have strong recommendations.

And yes I will stick around IT and enhance my network :).

Yeah, exactly! The way you get into their team and the way you get recommendations is by volunteering as a PA. :)
