What the checklist helps you tighten

This is a practical readiness audit for people who want to enter, stay active in, or move more strategically through the film industry.

Positioning

Clarify your role, lane, and the decision your materials are meant to support.

2

Proof

Identify whether your samples, reel, deck, resume, or portfolio prove the right thing.

Profile

Find gaps in your public materials, contact routes, credits, socials, and professional presence.

4

Relationships

Map the people, teams, and follow-up rhythm closest to your next realistic opportunity.

5

Workflow

Check your file habits, collaboration handoffs, AI readiness, consent, and rights awareness.

6

90-day plan

Turn the audit into one focused cycle: position, produce proof, connect, review, and adjust.

Start with the checklist. Continue with the starter course.

The Film & TV Industry Starter Course turns this audit into an always-current guided course for people new to the screen industry, thinking about film school or university film programs, or planning their first steps into film and TV.
