There are many pathways into working in the Vancouver film & TV industry

We encourage those considering a career in the film and television industry to research what it takes to succeed in the industry and note the industry groups, unions, training certifications and courses available in the region. We also recommend speaking to as many people active in the industry in the field of your choice as is possible.

Joining a film union offers you training opportunities and access to employment, and many have comprehensive requirements along the path to becoming a member. Each of the following unions have guidelines on their website about what it takes to become a member. Individual departments may require documented experience on the sets of commercials, film, television or stage productions, or other related work in the entertainment industry in addition to the completion of specific certifications or introductory courses.
