My first job in the film business was working as a production assistant, and then a production manager on a documentary about Townes Van Zandt.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I studied business and also studied film, then I graduated, and I worked at a network. I was able to use my business skills there - I was an associate producer for a little bit.
I first started working in film when I was 17. I was a director's assistant, an editor.
Well, I was sort of a jack-of-all-trades in show business for a long time. I was a singer and a dancer and then I got a job as an actor.
I worked as a production assistant on a couple of films, and finally, I got a job at an animation studio as an editor. After that, work begat work. I got into directing music videos and commercials.
I became a film director, but I wasn't successful with my first couple of films, so I had to turn to becoming a film critic to make a living.
My first job was in pantomime; I was a chorus girl in 'Dick Whittington' at 16. I got the part by ringing the director daily to see if anyone had dropped out, and it paid off eventually, when I was cast as a rat!
I came to New York to be an actor and I became a film producer first.
I was painting sets, working in editorial as an assistant, driving their trucks, lying that I knew how to drive a truck, and doing commercials and documentaries.
My first job was a film called 'Storm Damage' for the BBC. I was 16 and working with really respected British actors. I didn't have an agent at the time, and it kind of threw me into real acting.
The whole year I was in LA I got into telemarketing and learned how to make money. Five years later that skill helped me make my first film.
