Just got my master's but have no clue how to apply for jobs in the film world.

Hi I'm Amaobi Ajawara I just graduated from Full Sail University in Winter Park Florida. I specializes in sound I've done Foley and boom for three years but since coming to Full Sail I became a sound mixer. I've moved back to California, but I'm lost, how do I find a job in the film industry as a Foley artist, boom operator, Sound PA, Utilities, and a Sound Mixer. Is there some website, news ad, or do I mail my resume to any production?

Ray Biddle

Get any job, just keep looking! Good luck, it is harder and harder every day.

Display your work on social media and reach out to other artists, filmmakers, etc. Take any job and never say you can't do a job. Keep your emails short and simple but also be straightforward. There's a lot of jobs in California. Good Luck!

Is there really no faculty or alumni at Full Sail that can provide you with a referral to any production staff in your area?

Amaobi Ajawara

They do but it's very limited but I do check and contact them everyday. I'll try Mandy.com as well.
