I would like to know about more websites to look at in the New York, New Jersey, Brooklyn, Queens,Long Island and Connecticut area’s. Again thank you for taking the time to read my information letter it was very much appreciated.

I recently got started doing craft, but not by choice. I finished film school about a year and a half ago and have been interning and PAing on low budget indies. Many a time working on low budget gigs there is never anyone hired on to do craft, therefor a lowly PA will be given the task of craft. If you meet enough people in your town and they see you doing craft they will take note. Also if you have a website for the film community, such as in my state the Minnesota film and tv board, you can contact all of your local producers, production managers, and coordinators and let them know you are open for business. The biggest thing is to have a well equipped kit, ie coffee makers, hot water kettle, bowls, serving platters, etc., as you probably already know. I happened upon it through networking. I got my first job, did a kick ass job and got the rest of my jobs through word of mouth. As far as your rate goes….. start talking to people in town and ask them what the “standard” is and go from there. I started at $200 a day, but that’s because I had a great reference from the start. Usually, in Minnesota $175 is the standard for 10. If you have any other questions let me know….. I’ll be doing craft for a while, oh, and if you want to come to Minnesota, there is a huge shortage of crafty, so you’re more than welcome.
