Before you go look for work or an internship, I HIGHLY recommend that you read a few of the following books that will give you a good foundation of knowledge about how the industry works, then you'll have a better idea of A) what "job" you need to get right now and B) how to use that experience to move you toward your ultimate goal.

Thank you. Just what I needed.

Hi, just curious, what's the film business like in South Africa. It might be easier to get resources to locations and actors over there that are uncommon to most first time moviemakers.
