Re: New to the documentary field

Get a paying job first to repay any outstanding student loans.

Don't worry about buying any equipment which is likely to be obsolete five months after you buy it.

Work on getting a freelance job at a production company or rental facility to learn the business from the inside out.

Keep in mind documentary makers except for the top end do not make a long term living in this genre.

Many of the best of them do sideline high paying commercial and feature work to support the documentary work which is their first love.
