Hello, I'm a recent graduate trying to decide between moving to Los Angeles or New York City to start a career in film.

My long-term goal is to become a film editor or cinematographer, but I also love writing and could see myself directing in the future. Right now, I'm planning to start as a production assistant to get on set and build connections, then slowly work my way up the ladder.

Do you guys think NYC or LA is a better place to start? I'm also open to moving to other states or trying other pathways to getting into this industry. Thanks!
