I am interested in moving into the film industry. Not that I want to be an actor but rather something to do with production. So, anyone knows how to join this industry and what the requirements are.
Depends on what you want to do.
There are many different specialties or "crafts" associated with production. I'm involved with Sound and now Camera.
There's also Grip & Electric (Lights, and all the stuff that goes in front of them), Set Construction, Assistant Direction, Location management, Production coordination, props and set dressing, etc.
It helps to get some training in the field of your choice. Connecticut has the FITP program that this post detailed, but other states have different programs. Don't go to film school unless you have $50K or more to spend.
Check out Craig's List for Film/TV Jobs, and see if they are looking for unpaid interns or production assistants. Talk to people in the industry. Network with people online. There are thousands of ways to connect with people in this industry. Work for free, get experience, and eventually if you do a good job, you'll get a paying gig.
