A Brooklyn-based job program is trying to get minorities into the film industry by training them to be Production Assistants on everything from commercials, to reality shows to big budget films. The work is supposed to help people with limited schooling and a lack of connections get their foot in the door. WNYC’s Cindy Rodriguez looks at how it’s working so far.
REPORTER: On a recent rainy Friday afternoon, inside the offices of Brooklyn Workforce Innovations, a small graduation ceremony was held for about eight men and women. Each one walked up a paper red carpet with cardboard gold stars to receive certificates for completing a Production Assistant training program.”*
