As we have seen, this is a network-oriented industry. Often, it is not what you know, but
whom you know. Getting a foot in the door may be the hardest part of the process. That
being said, Toronto enjoys a thriving film community, both union and non-union. By
being resourceful, adaptable, enthusiastic, and occasionally willing to pitch in for free,
you will ensure your success. Remember the well wom clichd;
oowhere
there's a will,
there's a way."
:T-
The following is a brief overview of a number of non-union possibilities tbr work. There
are undoubtedly more out there, and some listed may have become more selective.
Perseverance will be vour best friend.
