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)
How do filmmakers make moneyin the film industry?
One day I hope to study film and become a screenwriter/director. I don't know much about the film industry quite yet, so that's why I plan on getting into a good film program in college. I have only one concern: how do filmmakers such as producers, screenwriters, and directors make money from their films? How do independent filmmakers make money?
They make their money because they are essential to the film making process. When there movies get distributed, they get a cut of what the movie makes, just like the actors
