Regardless of the position you are applying for, there are many television stations, documentaries, budget restricted productions, P.S.A.’s, music videos, Canadian Film Centre productions etc. that offer you valuable experience. In addition, there are several highly regarded film schools throughout North America that will provide you with a solid education and experience on film shoots within the realm of their academic studies.
