How to network with filmmakers?
Some advice I got from a film producer was to find a more experienced filmmaker to help guide me through the development of my first project(s). I'm not in a position to start building my team yet, but I'd like some resource references for when I do. Where can I look to network with and find fired film execs from the larger-but-downsizing studios that are currently looking for work? I know they're out there, I just don't know where to start looking.

what are some investment banking/finance-related opportunities?
I currently study finance at Taylor University, Malaysia. And am interested in investing, banking, finance, economics, and how money works. I was looking for opportunities to work in a related sector such as investment banking or banks in general. Still, I want to know which countries have such opportunities in the finance sector and have demand for it, which can provide a good experience and ability to grow. I know generally that the US is the best option but there is too much competition at the moment so Im searching for the less competitive markets for ex: Europe, Canada, or Arabic countries? Besides that, I wanted to know what courses or work experience I should take during my studies to improve my resume and make me highly qualified in this field.

Economic History or Economics for Equity Research
I'm a high school student looking to apply to the University of Edinburgh and Oxford for a degree in either Economics and Management (Oxford)/Economics with Finance (Edinburgh) or Economics and History (Oxford) and Economics and Economic History(Edinburgh). I feel incredibly passionate about the way that economics and history intertwine, and how each has affected the other over time. So, I would probably have more success in articulating that passion in the university application process, which means I would probably have a higher chance of being accepted. However, the career I want is one in equity research, and I feel that I will have a harder time in terms of finding internships and jobs if I study economic history because economics/finance majors have a more practical background and more obvious connections to the world of banking. Is it possible to break into equity research with a degree in history and economics? Do I need the more practical background of finance? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. #finance #economics #investment-banking #corporate-finance #equity-research
