Which of those job titles look interesting to you?
Contact me at the Fulton Film Company and let’s get a blue
print started for your success.
My name is George Ohan and I have experience working with
many different types of independent filmmakers. The hardest part is “GETTING
STARTED” according to the conversations that I’ve had with other indie film
people. Below you will find a fun list of 10 things you can do to get more
experience in something that genuinely interests you; FILMMAKING.
The list below can get someone started down a path of having
a really cool hobby, or it can be the beginning of a fruitful career in the
independent film industry. Right now, it is more realistic than ever to be a self-taught
digital filmmaker, and jump directly into a creative career.

1.
Create a 1 year PLAN. Set a few goals that you
want to accomplish; aim high!! 3 months; 1st camera test-shots ////
6 months; 1st short film completed //// 1 year; complete 4 digital
filmmaking workshops //// look at a film school…
2.
Identify which “jobs” interest you the most. Focus
on learning those skills 1st.
3.
What are your top 10 favorite films? Who was the
“Director or other job” on that film? What was their path to Hollywood? Look
into what they did to get to where they are. This gives you valuable insight.
4.
Get training. Start watching videos, read blogs,
and find books that cover your chosen skill to learn. Invest time in yourself
everyday for education.
5.
Find 1 other “film friend” that you can start
spending more time with.
6.
Add value to other people’s projects. Volunteer
on set. Go learn by doing.
7.
Produce a short video for a local non-profit.
It’s practice for you. Give back.
8.
Schedule in your calendar to join the “Creative
community” at least once per month for a local event. Stay in touch with the
people doing things.
9.
Ask for help. Reach out to people that you want
to work with. ASK.
10. Have
fun. Writing this blog is FUN for me… If it weren’t fun, I wouldn’t do it.

If “entertainment business” starts
to feel too stressful, then don’t do it anymore. This career path is very challenging
and there is daily uncertainty. However, many people have fun doing this on the
side, and others make a living doing it full time. Either way is ok.
