Friends In Film Graduate Vic (Animal Planet Network, A&E Network) has a serious discussion with me on the importance of building your connections and networks during this time (especially those of us who already have lots of videography experience).

5 Signs you're about to go from an emerging filmmaker to becoming a PROFESSIONAL:
You realize:
1. It's been a year and you're still working for $100-350/day on passion projects, indie films, and your own projects.
2. You're still not making enough money to make film what you do full-time.
3. All your connections are people who want to break into film themselves too.
4. The film work you're doing (indie and projects) doesn't qualify for joining the union (DGA, WGA, Producer's Guild, or Local 600 or other locals). You are not accumulating qualifying paycheck stubs and your name on a callsheet doing a craft)
5. You are not on the list of producers, production supervisors, and coordinators in your area. Only other aspiring people have you in their phones.
Not your fault, film schools, workshops, film challenges, and festivals keep you spinning in the same place. Always ASPIRING, but never getting on professional sets so you can become a PROFESSIONAL.

However, there is a lot more to consider and appreciate about the goal achievement process than getting to the end.
Despite what you might think right now, the process is the point.
Janet tells you about how the goal she made when she started on Los Angeles gave her the trajectory to the top film work with top directors.

It's all connections. What does that even mean? The film industry runs on relationships and trust. You will get hired if people can trust you to do the job and can trust you to be cool to work with. How do we get connected to the right people?
