From Filmsourcing, comes this hilarious flowchart: What’s Your Place in the Film Industry?
The colourful infographic illustrates pathways to 30 different occupations such as Head of Film Commission and Acting Teacher. Two examples:
“Start here -> Do you appreciate money above all else? -> No -> Can you get excited about someone else’s idea? -> Sure but I’ll make it mine -> Do you have exceptional talent? -> Yes -> Are you unknown and/or female? -> No -> Director”
“Start here -> Do you appreciate money above all else? -> No -> Can you get excited about someone else’s idea? -> I can fake it -> Are you visually oriented? -> No -> Are you skilled at cleaning up other people’s mess? -> No -> Are you musical? -> No -> What CAN you do? -> Sit -> Audience”
My take: too funny! Spot your role and work forward to it. You will laugh, and maybe learn something about yourself.
