Dude I must say that takes SO MUCH courage to do. Literally haven’t heard of a story like this it’s usually “oh my friends aunt works here” type of connection. Me taking notes of how film people look like lol 🤓 constipated 📑✏️ anxious 📑✏️ walkie talkie 📑✏️

OMG this is the advice that they don't give you in college. This was so inspiring and honestly gives me so much more confidence for when I do graduate and try to get a job.

This is such a classically NYC story. I lived in NYC in my 20s and did something similar when I got my agent and became a celebrity makeup artist. I moved to L.A. and tried similar tactics and they're not having it. You will be blacklisted and NEVER work if you don't do everything according to "the rules". I was acting and I managed to get into an audition with a casting agent, but I didn't have representation. The casting agent loved me, and then she asked for my agent and I explained I'd not been able to get anyone to even meet me about repping me. She flipped out and told me I had to learn protocol. I was shook. She was literally cheering at my audition, then bitched me out a moment later. She refused to answer my calls after that. L.A. does not prize tenacity and resourcefulness. It's heartbreaking.

I want to be director/filmmaker and have been constantly procrastinating year after year. This makes me smile and gives me hope. Thanks for sharing your story. 💪🏽

This is incredible! Literally walking up to someone, nervous as hell...willing to just ASK even knowing there's a chance of absolute denial. Moral of the story...find the movies filming, find the location, walk up to someone until they point you in the right direction/ to the person in charge... have your elevator pitch ready/know what you want to say... then watch God work! So happy for you! So inspiring!

When you don't know all the marvel superheroes, "Captain America and all of them..." 😭😭😭 great video

So proud of you persistence and perseverance!

This is amazing. Love the raw honesty, now you narrated your journey in order and the solid advice!!

Hello! I have been researching on how to get into the film industry, and I find the phrase "It's not about what you know, it's who you know" to be extremally valuable. I just graduated high school, and was feeling uneasy about my major because I wasn't sure if I would ever be lucky enough to know anyone in the film industry. Hearing about your experience was so inspiring! I will never give up.

I been applying since I was 18 with zero experience and NEVER GOT CALLED. So I kept working my normal jobs and it was always in the back of my head "YOU NEED TO GET BACK TO THIS!!!!" So I did. Went on to becoming a videographer / photographer and even now that I'm 33 years old, I still haven't been able to get called back from anyone. Even with a degree. So my conclusion to this journey is... Its not what you know its who you know!!! Still haven't given up!

Wow this video was so needed! I just graduated like 2 months ago and I'm trying to get into the film/tv industry and I was literally searching these various production houses and whatnot and I couldn't find any. This really helped me cause now I know what to do. It's not about what I know but who I know! Thank you and as a fellow black girl this was truly inspiring!

Just graduated and in the same situation you were in looking for PA jobs. This is so inspiring and gives me hope, thank you!

Thank you for telling your story! 3 Years later and I’m sure you been in so many amazing projects. Hope more opportunities come your way.

Probably the best advice I’ll ever here to get into this industry. Thank you so much!!!

Your journey of searching for a job is so clever and inspiring! I’m in a similar place right now but I’m not sure if i can put myself out there the way you did

Thanks for sharing so openly, Britt. Also - admire your ingenuity and the thinking outside of the box!

This is deadass sooo inspiring. I love how determined you were!

This was the best advice I've heard because I'm in the exact situation you were before you got your first PA job and I was feeling so hopeless. I'm in NY too and I will be trying exactly what you said and hope for the best. THANK YOU!!!

your persistence is amazing, even with the rude attitude you encountered from others you kept pushing and landed your job! very inspiring!

This video was amazing Brittani! The industry is def built on networking and it seems like something you slay at. Congrats again !

Congratulations on your persistence! That was a great way off pushing yourself and putting yourself out there.

This was such an inspiring video thank you so much! It's so refreshing to hear from somebody who got into the industry with no prior connections.

Wow! Really love your story. I graduated with a BA in media arts but have been struggling for years to get into this industry. Hearing your story is really inspiring and allowed me to continue the hustle.

Where I live there is constantly so many filming locations going on and I always watch from a distance. This is going to help so much and I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know! I just gotta get over my nervousness lol

Aww this is so inspiring!! Thank you so much! I’m interested in Journalism/ TV, and I’d love to work on in media someday! Thanks so much!! We love to see another fellow black girl grinding!! Good luck!❤️

You are literally my inspiration. Ive always said when get the chance I will just push myself onto a set and talk to people and you actually did it! Thats amazing.

By far the best information I’ve ever received from KZfaq. I’ve everything you said you did, from school all the way up to talking to the Key. Here I was thinking I was wrong.

Thank you so much for this video. I plan on sharing it with high school students to get them interested in careers related to tv/film. Your representation matters to them!

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your story! Your story sounds a lot like mine in terms of getting started in the film and television in the South African market and I have since relocated to the Atlanta market finding it a very difficult nut to crack. This helped to give me a boost Due to the fact that things are completely different here than they are back home.

This is so inspiring, thanks for sharing your experience! I'm starting the second year of undergrad media studies in Italy and I'm so anxious about internships and jobs opportunities. But I made up my mind and decided to put myself out here and start seriously looking, I will definitely try this method :)

Thank you for sharing this! Really inspiring that you went after your dream job like that 😭Need that courage!

What a great story & rad tips. Gotta love a clever entry into the industry!

This was amazing!! Ugh I love how it all started for you.

The most amazing and inspiring story ever. I am planning on going to NYC soon and didn't know where to begin.

So now that I watched your videos. This makes you my new connection!!! Help I need to get back into the business!

I wish you the best ✨thanks for spread THAT vibe. I really needed to listen at this video.

Beautiful story! I pray you keep winning 🙏🏾

This was inspiring, thank you so much for the “ugly” bits as well!

Thank you so much for this motivation! You're an inspiration

I found this advice extremely helpful today! I'm trying to get into the industry and really it just feels like searching google constantly and never getting anything. Going to keep this in mind moving forward and hopefully land somewhere. Thank you for the tips!

Love hearing this! You're so right! It's connections, it's networking it's all of that! If you want it bad enough... it wants you. 😁👍🎥

Gonna start film film school in like a month and this video was really helpful to get some kind of insight on how it can look like at he beginning of your career in the film industry, thank you!!!

This was very inspiring and informative! Thank you for sharing your story!

This is an amazing sharing! Even though I'm not live in America and still being a student now, but I really want to work on a tv show, because tv shows are my memories with my parents. Hope one day I can do it!

Thank you so much for sharing this story Bri, I am really inspired... I really look forward to trying this method out...

that's actually so helpful and motivating! i just really want to move to NY and work in the film industry

This was a very informative video. This is actually how I got my first tv job, I just asked around for opportunities and made myself visible

This is such good story I'm so happy you made it.

The inspo I needed to hear today ✨ you’re amazing girl!!! Subbed and cannot wait to binge more of your vids😍

Wow I really love the courage 👏 im so happy you went for it and got what you wanted ❤

This was absolutely superb 😻 so helpful and specific! I'm not in NY but still translates to Manchester UK as so many things film here now too!

I loved this video 😭 So transparent and inspiring!

Thank you so much for this ! I’m moving to nyc this month and I’m for sure taking your advice 🥰

Thank you for sharing your story. Yes, it truly is all about who you know. I've been searching Indeed as well as company websites I'd like to work for and have submitted my resume many many times and have been unsuccessful. It is discouraging - very discouraging. I have connected with a few seasoned people in the business who I felt could have referred me to a position within their company - even just to get my foot in the door - again unsuccessful. I guess I'll have to continue to remain optimistic and network with hopes that I will get the job and career I'm seeking. Thanks again for sharing your story which encouraged and inspired me.

I’m currently in the same position you were in, I have just graduated in a film/photo degree and can’t seem to find any jobs available. I’m based in London, UK, and so there are usually opportunities but because I don’t have connections, AND the pandemic, I’m having no luck... pray for me

Wow this was so inspiring. I’m definitely going to apply this method

Thank you so much for uploading this, very informating and inspiring!!

Loved this video. I’m glad you made it ❤️

Lovely story!! I’m struggling just like you were and this is motivating af ❤️

Omg that’s amazing and so inspiring!! I love how adamant you were. Side note: I love your nails 😍😍 Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was my showwww. Your editing definitely made this enjoyable to watch ✨

You are incredible! So proud of you ❤️

the little music cues are hilarious! Love the creativity behind this video too!

I’ve been doing the resume way for a minute, never thought to do it the way you’ve done it. I’m going to try this. Thank you

periodd, i love this

Wow at your time of making this you wanted 1k subscribers. You’re doing super well now! I just started a film program but im an introvert - determined not to quit even though it’s challenging.

You’re so resourceful. Respect.

im so grateful for this video rn

This was hugely inspiring thank you!

Congrats you’re amazing & beautiful inside & out thank you so much for this video it motivated me to get out there more 💫

This was so helpful somehow I love you I’m so happy you were able to make your dreams come true

This was so inspiring!! thanks so much for sharing ❤️

This is so cool and has inspired me so much!!

This is really encouraging!!

OH MY GOD I WATCH VIDEOS LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME BUT THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT'S NOT LIKE "When you work on a set you will make connections. 🙃" the fact that you actually have a backstory is so refreshing thank you so much

Thank you for sharing it for aspiring filmmakers like me that is desperate to get into the industry but with no luck. I may be able to try it sometime but I live in an area where there isn't any major entertainment stuff going on. I am worried I won't get a chance at all.

LOVE this! And you're so good at storytelling haha I'm a new subscriber

Know no one has ever told me this info before and thanks a lot by the WAY! Will take this advice!

This is truly amazing info!!!! thank you Brittani :D ... SUBSCRIBED !!!

This is amazing you are strong and a bad ass I took so much from this thank You

I just love this story so much.

this video is sooo informative! thanks for sharing your experience:)

subscribed cause im a recent grad with a film degree and this was some valuable information

This is such a blessing

Thank you so much for sharing your experience 💚

I’m glad to know I’m not alone. I graduated last May and still trying to find any film jobs. A lot of employers say you need experience for even PA. I guess 4 years of college doesn’t cut it. Which starts how do I get experience if I need experience. Still fighting hard though and your story gives me hope so thank you for sharing. Not a lot of informative information out there to get started and this helps!

Im from a small country in asia. This has been a dream of mine. Unfortunately i now realise gettinga job in the west is now just that, a dream.. However seeing ur story makes me happy. A bit sad as well, but mostly happy as you, who had the same dream has actually acheived it. Good luck! ❤

Fantastic job Britt 💯

thank you for sharing this! I'm really trying to learn as i'm searching for a small little opportunity

See the lengths people have to go through to get a job in media. It's like everyone in media doesn't want anybody else getting in so they don't help out anybody new. Well done for getting a job in media!! I've just graduated doing a TV Production degree and nobody's hiring unless you've got years of experience.

Love this so much! Definitely gonna try one day

Ur tenacity is inspiring!

Thank you Brit! ❤️

I’m in my first year of college for film production in the UK. My dream is to move to NY when I have my bachelors, I’ll DEFINITELY do this when my time comes, thanks
