There’s a lot to understand in the world of motion picture production including exactly what all of the departments are, and the many roles that comprise each one.
There are 31 departments below-the-line and over 300 distinct job roles within those departments. While there are many who work on commercials and independent productions (including short films, documentaries and low budget features) the majority of people who work in a below-the-line capacity belong to one of more of B.C.’s six motion picture unions and guilds. Use this Careers section to learn about every department and role, they’re all included.
Importantly, you’ll see which roles are the entry point for a department and which ones are “in demand”, meaning there is low supply in B.C.’s current workforce. The information in this section will help you make strategic choices while also considering which creative pathway is most aligned to your interests and aspirations.
