Question:

Is it easy to get a job in the film industry in Hollywood?

I'm about to start applying for production/direction jobs in the film industry in Hollywood. Is it difficult and what do I need on my job history and education to get one?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You don't really need anything, almost everything that there is to be learned is on "on the job."
Start as a PA and work up. I don't think it'll be too hard, there is a LOT of work in Hollywood -- be open to tv as well as film or even corporate gigs. The trick is to keep busy and keep working.
You'll do fine if you love it.
