Become a editor
Film / Video Editor - (City withheld for privacy), Arizona, United States
As you learn more skills and understanding of the production process, become a producer that can edit!
As media becomes more and more disposable, your best chance at "making it" is to use editing as a tool that a producer uses to control costs and direct others in production.
In short... Never stop researching and educating youself in trends, interests & technology and assess and create a demand for YOUR product and unique skill sets. Hire the right talent based on the demand, and be confidant...
