Issue #168 – Apprentices in Action
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
Film Connection student Gibran Trujillo-Pelcastre (Myrtle Beach, SC) wants everyone to know that there really are many more film jobs than just those in Hollywood. Gibran says, “So far I’ve been doing A LOT of work with my mentor…I’ve gotten to work in a lot of productions, ranging from commercials for pet insurance, furniture assembly videos, TV reality show pilot, a medical webinar live broadcast, got to interview a Hall of Fame hockey coach, and many more minor productions such as training videos for a time share company, local political events, etc.
“I’ve reached a point where I have realized that there’s more demand for independent production companies than what people think, and there’s good money to be made. I have actually gotten some checks from the company I’m doing my apprenticeship in, all because I learned how to do the jobs of the people I’ve been shadowing. I’ve done grip, ran audio, helped with casting, and have been a director’s PA.”
Radio Connection student Paul DiClementi (Chicago, IL) who apprentices at Urban Broadcast Media is seeing the road ahead coming into focus: “I feel really good about creating a great future in radio broadcasting and my eventual move to Calgary to start a dance music radio station up there…My mentor Mic Shane is nothing short of great. We click so well together that I’m a couple of weeks ahead of where the lessons say I should be.”
