Want to work in the Vancouver film industry? Curious about props, set dec, art dept? Not sure what you need to get started? Want to learn the basics of how a film set works? Considering taking an expensive course, but not sure if its worth it, or what to expect?

I have been working in the Vancouver film industry for 3 years. I work in props department and set decoration as well as some other positions and I have also worked as an actress and been through the auditioning process. I have worked on small budget films, big budget films, TV shows, commercials and documentaries. My partner also works as a grip, electric, dolly grip and cam op. I have a thorough understanding of the different departments and can give advice to help you get started working in film. I am a full union member with ACFC West and IASTSE 891. I can teach you the basics from set etiquette and the chain of command, to getting into the union, negotiating rates, building your kit etc. Although a lot of this information will be relevant to the film industry in other cities it mostly pertains to Vancouver, because I can tell you where to go locally to buy supplies, take courses, rent gear etc. Got questions about getting started in BC film... ask away!
