Re: Studying for the business - looking for helpful advice

1. Take a drama class and learn story, words like denouement and catharsis. All these fancy gadgets are nothing without writing & acting

2. Get your reel together

3. Intern a lot--more than once, more than production. See if you can get into development, advertising, news, post housing, producing. There are lots of areas. If you're in college for 8 semesters, and if you have 8 internships, you'll be a very desirable candidate when you graduate...if not before!

4. Subscribe to the American Cinematographer Magazine; there's so much information there, you can hardly believe it.

5. Subscribe to the Creative Cow magazine--lots of info there too.

6. Learn photoshop, illustrator, In Design also.

7. An introductory accounting class will be very helpful
