I'm not sure if i asked this question,does anybody know if it's possible for someone with a business degree to work in the film industry?As for my eduacation background my starting point will be with a g.e.d,credits from phoenix's business management program,then a masters from say a more traditional university?Would i be in competition with other people?Will this increase or decrase my chances of working in the industry?Does effort have anything to do with it?What should i do to get started to work towards this career?All questions and opinions are appreciated,thank you.

There are people who crunch numbers in the film industry, and they are "the others" to us creative types. (they're called suits, sorry, but it's usually derogatory)
They do have masters, accounting, or sometimes general humanities degrees. Film (and TV) needs accountants, and if you go into advertising, there are plenty of business degree types.
Another possible route it could take you down is that of being an agent.
Film is all about connections though, even in "suits" that your degree would make you more likely amongst. You need to be out there, talking to people face to face.
Usually you need a sample of your work, some experience, or else you start on the bottom (extras, mail room, gophers).
The only film job where you absolutely need a degree is Entertainment lawyer. (and for that, you go to a law school that has specialists in Entertainment Law)

Yep i agree, These so called actors dont help either, it's all visual now. Even the big budget films loose credibility apx 45 mins from the end!! Some of the best movies i have seen of late have been tv movies! I have a brilliant story for a good old British Robbery film with the emphasis being on the crims side, it would be more of film to be proud of than the pathetic Full Monty & 2 smoking barrels!! Which appears to be the u.k.'s so called good films? Just wish i knew someone who could help get this project looked at??

Business savvy. Depends what kind you practice or are a mere academician. If your merits and scruples are of interest and of value to you to the point of maintaining them, there could be an offer of a job. Rock bottom? Like any business. Start small. Be independent. Just like warfare, small flexible, supported units weather things better than monstrous caravans.

If you can show intimate parts of your female anatomy, there is definitely a role for you. See ya at the movies?
