What you have been told by Mr. Palmer is true, union obstacles and producers" preference for experienced men docs present you with difficult doors to open. But young men open those doors continually and, if you are qualified, so can you. Perhaps 1 can help. I am a busy man. If I were not. there would be no prospects for you here anyway. So make your presentation to me so concise that its very brevity will interest me. Keep your resume to a single page including only the liifshliiihls of your qualifications. If it should prompt a later interview, I will be impressed to learn there are even more good things to know about you. If I have already read everything there is to know about you — what will we talk about? Send a "show reel", a piece of film that demonstrates what you are able to do with a script, camera, microphone, paintbrush or splicer. Don't expect to sit next to me as I watch and make excuses for any of it. I want to look at it at a time of my choosing and. if everyihins; in the reel does not speak well of you — edit it. I am looking for that hard-to-define something that experienced men ha\e before they get experience. If. having read this, you edit your show reel to anything over five or six minutes, go back and read it again. If you are asked to come in for a chat, dress that day as you expect to dress while representing me with one of my clients. I am interested in your life style, hut practicality makes me more interested in my client's life style and your flexibility. You can dress to look like a cameraman after you have become a cameraman. Finally, if this were not a highly competitive field, difficult to attain .ind demanding once in it, there would be a lot more bad producers surviving. You can do anything if you want to do it hard enough. And to make your living the way Mr. Palmer and I do — it's worth every bit of the struggle. Sincerely.
