The holiday season is rapidly approaching, which tends to mean fewer active productions as people tend to try and schedule around the holidays. That means this update could be the most fruitful for the rest of the year.

Remember, getting into the film and television business is very hard. Like most careers, networking is a very effective way of landing on a set. Once again this is where I’m going to plug the Georgia Film Academy. One of the best things about the GFA isn’t just the education you’ll get (though it’s great).

GFA students will tell you the biggest thing about the GFA is the competitive internship program that puts students on productions. That’s one of the best ways to get your foot in the door and opens up networking opportunities.

So, if you’re interested in getting into the industry and want to get industry-recognized certifications, you need to check out the GFA.
