Many young people find project-based work attractive, but few know what it really means to be a freelance filmmaker. What kind of professionals are needed in the film industry, how long does it take to shoot a film or TV series, how many hours a day do you have to work, how many days off a year can a filmmaker have?

In it, we've put together some practical tips on time and work management, finances, health, self-branding, training and professional advocacy that everyone should be aware of before taking a job in the creative industries, particularly film.
