AD or PA to go into Director’s Assistant?

Hello everyone,
Would appreciate anyone’s thought of advice on this. This year, I have realized that I would like to transition to being a director’s assistant (not AD). I have experience in the AD department, I currently work as a floor/ set PA, but I’m still in the very early stages of my career. I was wondering what you guys think, does it make sense for me to continue to stay in the AD department and build more experience within that or should I be looking for Producer’s, Production Assistant/ Production office work, if I eventually want to be a directors assistant?

I know people who have gone from AD PA to DA, but I have heard that going from production work into that is possibly more feasible.

Any thoughts?? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Wishing you all a lovely day.

Screenskills Trainee Finder Advice

Hello everyone,
I hope you’re all well and staying busy in these dry times in the industry.

The screenskills trainee finder applications have just opened. I would really like to apply and would appreciate any advice people may have to share, especially from those that have previously gotten into their cohorts.

I have sadly been rejected from the Disney and Warner Bros. Trainee programes and am trying to do my best with this application. Something I’ve struggled with was gauging the level of experience they’re looking for. Warner Bros didn’t ask for a CV and rejected me. Disney rejected me with a CV. I have experience as a daily in the AD department, some have said this is useful, others have said it’s a disadvantage.

Honestly any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. Have a lovely day.

Philippines in June and July

I sincerely apologize for being another person asking this and yes, the post will be on multiple threads, but I’d really appreciate any advice or input from people living there or that have traveled during that time.

I’ve been backpacking in SEA and have been looking forward to the Philippines the most. There were a lot of changes to my trip and now the only time I am able to go to the Philippines is from mid June to mid July. I am worried because of typhoon season, but I have read very mixed information online. Some people say it’s not worth it at all, other says it’s fine, but most say it depends on the region and personal taste.

The possible places I wanted to go (not in any particular order) were El Nido, Coron, Siquoir, Siargao, Bohol and Camugin.

I don’t mind showers for a couple of hours a day, but my worry is cloud cover and typhoon. I want to enjoy the sunshine, as much as I can. To actually be able to feel the sun on me at the beach. Any advice of the best places to go for that, as well as wether it’d be best to go in June and July, so I can plan my route?

Any advice or thoughts, would be greatly appreciated. I know there’s no way to fully predict it, but any help will already at least give me a sense of direction. Thank you.
