If you live in Los Angeles, and have a six month to a year cushion of savings (even with cost-of-living in LA) to be a PA or runner for a little while until you impress the right person, yeah, you can get it with Lighting or Sound without much difficulty. For post, it's the same deal, though that's slightly worse because there are far fewer post jobs. Honestly, though, why would you want to? Hollywood is a miserable, catty, incestuous business where best friends will stab you in the back. Canada's film board pays generous subsidies for Hollywood to come up there, and shoot using CA film crews. Get on with a local gaffer or sound guy or DP in Canada (major cities only, especially Vancouver) and just stay where you have free health care, reasonable costs of living, and only slightly-increased chances of being trampled by a moose.<br><b>References : </b><br> It depends.
