I moved to the North end of Chicago a week ago. I thought I would have no problem tracking down some entry level post-Production or even grip work. But it's been a bear. The film commission offered very little help and the friends I have in town can't meet with me till this weekend to discuss some opportunities. Is there anyone at Media-Match who knows the town and has some advice for a guy who has tried nearly everything in the past 8 days. Thanks.

I know some people. what do you do? You should get the film festival to give you the list of local crew that they give out to all visiting producers and production companies, and then go through it and call the keys and others in your area of experience and try and meet them and network with them. They can get you work and referrals if you keep at it.
