Does anyone here work in the film industry?

Finally, I know a number of people who are studying film production and are interested in entering into the field. Oh, I also know a few people who work regularly (and for some time now) as production assistants.

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.

Interesting. I wasn't aware that such a degree existed. How is it applicable to your current job?
