We are doing something a bit different with this episode as we talk to a professional behind the camera to learn how they built their career in the film industry with little to no contacts. Today's Global VID Podcast is a true DIY career story meant to motivate all of us, no matter what stage you are at, as we keep marching forward to grow our careers.

Please meet NYC-based Amber M. Sherman. Originally from Buffalo, NY, Amber never thought a life in the film industry could be possible. But once in college, she started to get her feet wet as a camera assistant on any shoot available in town. She later relocated to LA and then NYC to finally transition to the Assistant Director department where she finally found her calling in film.

So how does someone get started from scratch? How does someone become an Assistant Director? What are Amber's top tips to get into the business & work behind the camera? Listen and find out!
