Start by writing reviews to everything you see. Then begin submitting sample reviews to local papers or small websites. If you have a keen insight, a professional approach, and exhibit evidence of research, newspapers will arrange for you to be added to the lists for press screenings. Once you have some of your reviews published, submit those as samples to bigger papers which actually pay you.\n\nIt is very important that you have a voice and an approach which goes beyond the common word of mouth impression. The biggest key is to be able to include insight and references which make the review interesting and thoughtful, not to mention fun to read.\n\nGood Luck

well, first off, if its like every other crappy scary movie that has come out then just dont bother, for example the grudge, buut if your really persistent find a film school, or a film company in your area, pitch your i.d. , if they like it they can loan you money , more then likely they wont even talk to you but you never know, if they do some how loan you the money then youll have to sale the vid and pay them back, i would suggest doing alot of films before trying to step up, it's alot more complex then it seems

What do you mean "Film Broker"? I never heard of this.\nMy guess is working in the distribution end of film making?\nGet a job with a film distribution company (there are thousands). Call some or check online and see what they require for backgrounds and such.

A good place to look is 'Shooting People'. They have a network of filmmakers, writers etc. and you can get in touch with directors who might be interested in your screenplay. Also try triggerstreet, (owned by Kevin Spacey) it's worth seeing what other writers etc. think of your screemplay and it gets it out there. Also you could try contacting film schools. First time directors are always looking for good screenplays and its a good way to get started.

If you want to see "how they do it" you will probably need to rent a porno. Most movies don't show the actual action - that's a bit beyond an R rating.\n\nKissing and nudity - rent anything with an R rating and you'll get lots. Pretty much anything PG or higher is going to have something.

You must first write a script or a pilot and submit that to the major networks for their review. It's a pretty tough process.

Most get hired through networking, but you will most likely still have to join a union. If you are interested, try to get to know someone who already works for one of the production companies, to help you get a foot in the door. \n\nYou can also get experience by working for independent films. Attend all the film festivals in your state to meet contacts. Also try public access TV channels to see if they need crew volunteers.

Pick up industry magazines and submit a resume to various places.  \n\nIf you are a student, you should get an internship.  They do not pay you, but you get experience to put on the resume.  YOu work your way from the mail room to the higher ranks, and pay your dues.\n\nI know Variety is an industry magazine for the film industry, so maybe check out mags like Billboard or ??? \n\nSorry I am not in the music industry to know the right ones.
