Go here:
http://www.entertainmentcareers.cc/e...crew_index.htm - this gives general info on working in productions, your first step to learning about the movie business.
This is a site referred to me by
The Entertainment Industry Development Corporation, the non profit organization that is hollywoods behind the scenes glue. They do all the portfolio services for ALL production companies in the hollywood area. If you want to film ANYTHING in the Hollywod area, or LA, you have to get a permit through them. They used to give out "shoot sheets" a daily list to the general public of every production being shot in the area, including the production name, location address and how long they are shooting there.
Hollywood is ALWAYS hiring and looking for people to do grunt work on sets. The pay isn't always that bad and what you learn can help you decide if this is what you want to do and, more importantly, how productions work. This site is where anyone wanting to work in Hollywood goes to find the latest positions and many require NO EXPERIENCE:

I used to live in L.A., Santa Monica, and the valley - don't miss L.A. or the valley, but Santa Monica was great. Anyway I hope this info helps. If you're at all really interested this is where you begin. :drunk:
