“1% talent and 99% hard work will get you there. The competition is huge, pure talent is not enough. Don’t be lazy ... You learn while you are doing and NYFA provides you with all of the opportunities to get solid experience. Be on set while in school as much as you can, do not avoid participating in a project, because there is only a PA position left or no budget. Work for free. Work as a PA. Just be on set, observe! Get valuable, strong experience.”
