Is anyone into TV/Film production jobs? I'm currently a TV production student in high school, and I've been on various shoots in my day. Good stuff.  |

I also worked for MTV News for a few years. 20 years ago I switched to post-production. I've been at NFL Films for about 15 years.

Any tips for starting out in the industry?

Failing that, recomendations, internships, networking and persistence are a good way to get in.
