ARE YOU CONSIDERING A CAREER IN FILM?

The second annual FILM CAREER DAY offers young adults, ages 13 - 24, with an ideal opportunity to explore the possibilities for employment behind the camera or in one of hundreds of other positions that contribute to the filmmaking process. Meet local and nationally-acclaimed directors, producers and content creators who know exactly what it takes to get started in the biz – and what you’ll need to master if you want to be taken seriously.

FILM CAREER DAY presents a broad curriculum that includes topical break-out sessions, industry networking opportunities, and a keynote address from filmmaker Rayka Zehtabchi – who made history in 2019 when she became the first Iranian-American woman AND, at just 24 years of age, the youngest director to win an Academy Award.

Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with regional colleges and technical schools that offer film programs worth considering and meet film industry employers located right here in the Northwest.

There are a wide range of career opportunities waiting to be explored in the film industry and Film Career Day presents the perfect launch pad to start your journey.
