My experiences working in Hollywood… so far.Tumblr (3.0; @facingfilm)http://facingfilm.com/<p>Facing Film is a blog written by <a href="http://danielhollister.com">Daniel Hollister</a>.</p> <p>In 2005, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue filmmaking. In the time since then, I have been fortunate enough to work on various short and feature films, music videos, and television products for companies such as <a href="http://www.mgm.com/">MGM</a>, <a href="http://www.fox.com/">Fox</a>, and the <a href="http://www.cwtv.com/">CW</a>. Although having worked in various capacities, this blog will focus mostly on working on the production crew, where I have been a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_assistant">PA</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_puller">1st AC</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assistant_director">1st AD</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_operator">camera operator</a>.</p> <p>I do not claim to be any sort of expert about the film industry, nor have I “made it,” become a household name, or purchased a Ferrari. I’m just a guy who has been able to work crew on some film projects.</p> <p>But in my time here so far, I have learned many lessons that I wish I had known prior to moving here that might help other people interested in working in Hollywood get their first jobs. It is these stories that I will chronicle on this blog. I hope you may find them useful, informative, or just plain interesting.</p>http://facingfilm.com/post/39209295http://facingfilm.com/post/39209295Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:39:00 -0400
