Post production is by nature entrepreneurial. The majority of our community is made up of freelancers and employees of small businesses who work on productions that are themselves small corporations that close once the show or film is distributed. At the same time, many post-production jobs exist within a rigid hierarchy—editor, assistant editor, post producer, post PA—that limit career advancement. Successful entrepreneurs overcome those limitations by seizing opportunities others overlook. Join founders of innovative post companies, Trevanna Tracks and Endcrawl, to learn how to achieve entrepreneurial success by channeling your creativity into new business ventures.
