Looking for a job on set!

[DDirector]

I am 18, and currently in High School. (I returned for another year) and I was wondering if anyone has any job that I can do on set to gain some experience in the Toronto area or further South.

I have no previous experience working on set except for some videos I made at High School. (Media Arts Class - Sorry, no available videos. I made them before I actually thought about going to the film business, therefore I never kept them).

I take my work seriously! Since this is based around my career, I need to do and show my best as much as I can, so I am willing to go full out.

If you have any job for me, please let me know.
I can do anything almost, as long as I can get some knowledge of what to do, what not to do, etc. Simple training basically.

The catch is...
I live in Oakville. About 20min S. of Toronto and I don't have a car, so I will need to travel by train/bus. Which can cost me a bit, especially if its a non-paid gig.

Secondly, as stated above I go to school. I am in High School for another year, so I cannot go out during weekdays during school hours to help. I can only go on weekends. But, if it is close to the Oakville area, I can possibly come after school hours.

*If it is a paid gig, and shooting is for one week. I can miss school for that week if needed.
I wont have any troubles since I already graduated. Unless if its during exam times.

Got any position? Please let me know! Send me a PM.

Thanks

First, get a car. I don't want to rely on the Go train schedule for my crew members, and in our business being late is the end of the world. Seriously - a film crew is a well-oiled machine and even one missing person can be a big deal.

Contact some of the music video co's, they are always looking for free/cheap labor and you will learn as you work.

Well, I don't know if this will help you out at all, but, you are in Oakville and you are interested in Film. I too am in Oakville, except that I'm in media Arts at Sheridan College.

Starting next semester we have some fairly major short film projects coming up. If you're looking to PA, I might be able to get you on set. Maybe.

Like I said, it's nothing too big or very deep into the film industry, but any experience is good experience.

And Brent, I completely agree. i don't have a car, but every time I've seen someone be late, it always screws things up. Even the most minor person being late causes things to go wrong. However, there are ways of getting to Toronto on time, every time. Public transit is one way, not the best by far, but one way to get there if you do need to get somewhere.
