CAFTCADEMY 101- Costume Film & TV Seminars

CAFTCAD has created the CAFTCADEMY 101 series in which professionals within the industry speak about the various positions within the costume department. How does one know the difference between an Assistant Designer and a Costume Supervisor? What does a Buyer really do? How do you dress hundred of background extras 'on the day', and what does 'on the day' even mean?

Often I have aspiring costumers ask me how do they break into the business. Is there a website dedicated to posting jobs within the industry? Who should they send their resumes to? I've always said that one needs to volunteer to gain experience and connections. Now with the advent of this seminar series, costumers have the amazing opportunity to meet and learn from experienced costumers and build future 
relationships with them and others they meet at the event. During the last CAFTCADEMY, I saw attendees meet and bond and then work together on their own projects. 

If you want to be a film costumer, can get to Toronto for Saturday June 22 and Sunday June 23rd, then I highly recommend attending these seminars. I wish there was something like CAFTCAD when I was starting out in this biz.

Application here. Deadline Monday June 17th.
