🎬 ‘You need connections to get into TV & Film’—we hear it all the time, but it’s simply not true.

Yes, networking helps, but plenty of people break into the industry with ZERO connections. How?

✅ Training & Courses – Gain the right skills and knowledge. Hands-on experience makes you stand out.

✅ Work Experience & Volunteering – Short-term gigs, student films, or shadowing can open doors.

✅ Be Proactive – Apply for entry-level roles, reach out to industry professionals, and follow up.

✅ Utilise Online Resources – LinkedIn, Facebook groups, and job boards are packed with opportunities.

✅ Make Your Own Work – Create short films, content, or projects to showcase your talent.

Breaking in takes effort, but it’s 100% possible. Keep learning, keep applying, and don’t wait for permission to start!
