a movie extra...the people you see in the backgrounds of films...non union folk its a really boring thing to do...you show up early in the day and stay till late at night...anything over 8 hours is paid time and a half...some days they don't use you at all have a good book or something to keep you occupied until they call you. Most extra casting agencys charge a small fee up front but if they ask you for anything over 50 bucks its a waste...and don't fall for head shot scams they want you to see one of their photographers and he'll charge you 400 bucks for some photos...\n\nlook in the phonebook or search for extra casting...

Get some portfolio shots done and register yourself with casting agencies... Highlight as many skills you might have eg Horseback riding, martial arts, walking using hands etc...\n\nIf they don't call, call them and see if there is anything out there for you...\n\nBut be warned castings are tough though, there are always 10's/100's of people going for the job too, can be a bit like an X factor audition...

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.

ok i will tell u read the following.dont forget me if u become a big actress\n\n\n\n#  STEP 1: Decide whether you want to be a professional actor (addressed here) or an amateur. If you want to be a professional, read on.\n# STEP 2: Move to a major city. Eventually, New York or Los Angeles will be your destination, but as you build your résumé of experience you can work in other major metropolitan areas that have good theater or film communities.\n# STEP 3: Enroll in acting class. Good actors study their entire lives. To choose a good class, ask trusted, successful professionals for references.\n# STEP 4: Get a headshot (see "How to Get a Headshot," under Related eHows).\n# STEP 5: Compose a résumé of all the work you have done so far. As your body of work grows, drop the less professional work (such as school plays) from your résumé.\n# STEP 6: Send your headshot and résumé with a brief cover letter to all the casting directors and agents in your area. Follow up with postcards every four to six months, updating them on your current acting projects.\n# STEP 7: Read the trade papers regularly: "Backstage," "Dramalogue," "The Ross Reports" and "Variety," as well as online publications such as newenglandfilm.com, as appropriate. Know what is being cast where, and send headshots and notes directly to directors and producers whenever possible, requesting auditions.\n# STEP 8: Always accept invitations to industry events and parties, and meet industry professionals whenever possible. Who you know is extremely important.

I don't have a professional background in film, but I have read up on it. Botttom line: get first hand experiance. If you want to an actor the hards are pretty hard against you (read: slim to none). But if you want to be involved in the production, you have some options. You can try the Second Assistant Directors Training Program, which is extremely competitive but a great opportunity if you get in. Visit dgptp.org/jobdues.html\nYou can also try getting in as a temp, in which you get a small job like answering phones but get to meet people who could possibly set you up. For that, you can call:\n\nThe Freidman Agency (310) 850-1002\nBlaine and Associates (310) 785-0560\nThe Job Factory (310) 475-9521\n\nThere are also film schools, most notably the New York Film Academy ( nyfa.com) and Los Angeles City College (lacc.cc.ca.us)

Just photography.  Most of the jobs you'll be hired for though is continuity director.  \n\nIn that event, you would be using a simple digital camera and instant printer or a polaroid.\n\nThe reason for this is when the director yells "cut", you can freeze the scene on film where the actors left off.\n\nIt would be your job to make sure that all props, hair, lit cigarettes and half filled glasses are exactly where they were once reshooting begins.\n\nFor publicity stills, all you need to learn is all the basics of lighting,depth of field etc. from any college.\n\nActually, there are so many books and magazines out on the market, you could probably be self taught.

I would start with taking some acting classes and getting to know people in the business. There are books out with the names of Agents that you can buy and you can also read some online magazines that deal with the proffession. Good luck, sweetie. Oh, and most agents usually wait to get paid when you get an acting job and they take a certain percentage, but I don't know what it is. And, if you get famous, drop me an email so I know it's you and that you made it. Break a leg, kiddo. Tina, Texas

You don't say what part of the country you are from but there are small film makers and film associations all over. Try looking them up on the net and finding out about auditioning through them.  I've been in a couple local shorts that have gone to international festivals. it's a good way to get your foot in the door.\n\nLocal commercials can be a good jumping off point.  Call local add agencies and see what they say.\n\n Then you'll want to see about an agent and you need to set up a web sight.

Sales with commission! Most FUN, and if you do well you can set your own schedule. Otherwise get into the entertainment industry! Acting, comedy, music. If all else fails go back to school!
