I'm a US Citizen.....grew up in Cali, moved to Toronto when I was 11....

Oh, and any suggestions for any mid level agents who represent DP's for commercials would be great too, thanks!

Hello fellow filmmakers,

I'm a Toronto DP of 13 years experience, and I'm thinking about making the move to Hollywood. I'm trying to meet directors and producers in LA, but if anyone could point me in the direction of where to go to meet said people, I'd be much obliged. Are there any indie film meet ups? Particular opportunities for schmoozing?

Also, looking for a place to live once I move there....I was thinking Silverlake or West Hollywood.....any strong opinions for/against?

I'll most likely plan a 1-2 month reconnaissance trip in the near future, and I'd love to meet any of you fine folks in person. I'd be looking to pick up a US cell phone as well....any advice as to which are the best service providers would be appreciated....any Canadians make the move down there? I have an iPhone 5s (Rogers), and I'd love to just use it down there with a US sim card, so all my contacts are still in tact. Any suggestions what's the best way to go about this?
