Career Sustainability Panel: Beyond the Film Set
Wednesday, November 18, 2020, 3pm
The Chicago Film Office, Seed&Spark and the Illinois Film Office present a panel discussion with creative entrepreneurs about creating and sustaining a film career. They will discuss how their career journeys challenge the typical narrative of "making it in the business" and offer alternative narratives to what are typically taught as ideal roles to aspire to (i.e. working in Hollywood, producer & director roles, etc.). Professional development panels often discuss the craft of filmmaking. We will instead discuss what it looks like; and what it takes to actually create a sustainable career in film; one that is both economically and creatively sustaining. Ultimately, there is more than one way to creating and sustaining a "film career" and the path will look different for everyone. The event will live stream on Facebook and YouTube.
