I am not in the film industry but I work at a location that has been used countless times in film and television. I have also worked while quite a few films and television episodes were filmed and have seen and met numerous famous actors (for what its worth).

While I love film and even have a degree in film (B.A. in Film Theory & Criticism) I don't find production work particularly interesting. Personally, I would prefer to do archival or restoration work. If I did enter into film-making, I could see myself doing post-production work. I also have a few ideas for scripts but I think I need to invest more time becoming a better writer before I explore that route.
I'm working on a "Scream"-like slasher script as well as some almost dialogue-less very depressing story about a woman and alcoholism, and I came to the same conclusion: I need to fix up a lot of my skills before I can finish at least the second one.
