Job at an LA Rental house

Hey all! Looking to get a job in a rental house in California, sure it’s a very uphill battle with a lot of competition but it’s something that would be really beneficial for me and I’m willing to really fight for it. I’ve mostly Directed/Written, recently shot my latest short a month ago, have done about 7 total in the last few years but have also crewed and worked on a ton more. Took a couple classes/shot some student shorts but Cinematography was always a field I was intimidated by but the more I’ve worked with great cinematographers and learned from them the more passionate I’ve become about the subject. I’d love a job at a camera rental house to get to learn more and be around the film world in any way, with a big incentive for me being the possible discount on getting to rent out equipment to Direct/shoot much more. Any advice on getting a job in any capacity at a rental house/information that would be best to study up for in preparation? Thank you!

Industry job versus Non-film job to balance directing shorts on the side

I’m pursuing a career in Directing and Writing. In your experience what have you seen be the most beneficial, working an entry level film industry job or a service industry/any kind of job not directly in film to have the flexibility to pursue working on short films and get them out there any way I can. In the process of releasing quite a few short films right now, some on YouTube some in Festivals, and I just want to make stuff constantly and wondering what the best path is? Thank you!
