Abstract

Each year, film school graduates face the difficult challenge of finding employment in the professional world. Though the dominant Hollywood model of production offers some opportunities for those entering the workforce, such opportunities are becoming increasingly limited. However, numerous less established production centers exist worldwide, providing viable alternatives and other sources of funding, which, if explored, can offer both work and artistic freedom to new and independent filmmakers.
