I may be changing the topic in this discussion but I am working towards gaining entry into the union but all my work has been as a loader on a non-union show. I have heard that these days do not qualify toward the 100 days needed and that it is only 30 union days as a loader that allows you to enter at this position. can anyone confirm or deny this for me? thank you

BOOOOO TO BYU! Haha, im a Ute. Well I was at least until I moved here to hollywood. I was at the University of Utah as a film studies major but it was only that, film studies. You could get a BA with only taking theory classes and it would take just as much weight as if you did not. There were a few great classes there however that gave you a very broad understanding of filmmaking and the theory classes were great for exposure to different types of film but it will not put you in the position to get a job in the industry. Eventually maybe, but its still a young program. I Left to go to the Los Angeles film School, a year long intensive program. Expensive yes, but so far i think it is completely worth it. The sole focus is filmmaking and you choose what part of filmmaking it is you want to specialize in.
