Should I accept student works?

Student projects often offer lower pay, and sometimes the on-set conditions may not meet professional standards.
However, whether or not to accept such work depends on your individual situation. Here are some basic factors you may want to consider:

Student films can:

• Give you experience
• Give you footage for your showreel
• Help you build relationships

But check:

• Script quality
• Director seriousness
• Shooting conditions

If you’re new, student work can be smart. Just choose carefully.
