In addition to full-time movie roles, Tyler Perry Studios is also hiring interns. But let’s talk about how to get hired for a movie project at Tyler Perry Studios.
Tyler Perry Studios Is Hiring Right Now: Here’s What You Need To Know
Perry has long made hiring for diversity and inclusion a priority. Since his studio reopened, Perry is in need of movie industry professionals. He’s also hiring professionals to maintain the facilities.
But let’s be honest: You want to be work in the movie business. Here’s how to get Tyler Perry Studios jobs:
Tyler Perry Jobs: Follow These 3 Steps To Find Career Opportunities
- Go to the Tyler Perry Studios website. That’s where you can apply by clicking on either “Production Resumes” or “Operations/Facilities Resume.”
2. For movie production jobs, send your resume to this email address: production_resumes@tylerperrystudios.com
3. For operations jobs, send your resume to this email address: careers@tylerperrystudios.com
Of course, Tyler Perry Studios jobs won’t just come from filling out an application.
Here’s what Essence Wallace, who worked at Tyler Perry Studios, says about getting a job with the movie mogul.
As far as the process for being hired at TPS — or any job in film and television production for that matter — it’s all about WHO you know. Networking isn’t my strength, per se — BUT I learned to master the art of building relationships. One great relationship will KEEP you working in this industry. It starts by getting out and surrounding yourself with people that are working — like being willing to work for free on independent projects and going to workshops or seminars to develop your craft.As far as Perry is concerned, he puts a lot of importance on make hiring decisions that reflect the community, especially given the lack of representation in the movie business.
This is what he told CBS News:
“I know for a fact that when I drive in through these gates, onto this 330 acres and see these 12 sound stages, and see the highway sign that says ‘Tyler Perry Studios’ as you’re making to the exit in here, as I come in here and I see these hundreds of people working, these black and brown – I’ve been on sets where I’ve been the only black face on, only black face, as recently as 2019 going, ‘Where are the black people in this movie?’ Back behind the camera? So, when I come to work here and every black person that comes to work here they go, ‘Oh my God, it’s heaven. Here we are. We’re represented.’ Where everybody’s represented. LGBTQ’s represented. Black, white, gay, straight, whatever. We’re all represented, working hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm.
Tyler Perry also gives job opportunities to students. Here’s how to get an internship with Tyler Perry Studios.
Wallace, who is now with The Chosen Productions, says the key to getting hired to work on a Tyler Perry Studios production is to immerse yourself in the Atlanta film community, particularly the Tyler Perry Studios environment.
“I’ve rarely seen anyone get hired from submitting a resume online and having a formal interview – not that it doesn’t ever happen. It’s just simply not the norm for someone pursuing a career in film and TV,” she says.
“You have to set your goals, decide the types of projects you want to work on, and then find opportunities to engage with other like minded individuals,” she tells AtlantaFi.com. “I know this is not the answer most people are looking for, but I’ve helped more people get jobs just by helping them connect with the right person vs. focusing on their education and background.”
By the way, Wallace says The Chosen Productions is also accepting resumes for all positions at thechosenproductions2014@
gmail.com for upcoming television shows, films, and documentaries.With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.There are so many movies filmed in Atlanta these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all.

If you’ve interviewed for a job that you feel good about, one of the best ways to increase your chances of getting it is by following up.
A post-interview followup is a standard protocol in today’s job market and should be prepared for as thoroughly as the interview. This article is going to show you what to say when you followup your job interview.
How To Follow Up After A Job Interview
You always want a way to stand out from other job candidates. You want to keep the hiring manager or recruiter thinking about you after the interview.
Recruiters are humans like you and I. They are more apt to remember job candidates that they have spoken to or interacted with more recently.
Why You Should Always Say ‘Thank You’ After A Job Interview
Everyone likes to hear kind words about them. In a job setting, good manners can go a long way.
If you simply write your hiring manager or recruiter a nice note saying “thank you,” you set yourself a part.
Another benefit is you get to reinforce some of the values you portrayed during your interview.
That’s why you should always follow up with them after you’re done interviewing. Here’s a sample email that has worked for me in the past.
Hello, this is [name], I just want to say that I very much appreciated our interview.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future and am confident that given the chance, my specific skill sets, especially my attention to detail (or experience related to the job) can make a difference in your organization.
Of course, you can tweak that correspondence anyway you see fit. The point is to say something that promotes who you are and your skills.
Always commend the interviewer for a job well done. Who doesn’t like to feel good, right?
When Should You Follow Up After The Interview?
You may be wondering when is the best time to follow up after your interview.
There is no specific set time that works best when it comes to reaching back out to the interviewer or recruiter. Some people may choose to do so a day or two days later. Some may prefer to follow up three days later.
It really depends on what the interviewer has going on and whether they’re in a rush to fill the position.
Conclusion
A followup letter, postcard or email is a necessity in today’s job market. The biggest obstacle to making it happen is getting the email address of the hiring manager or recruiter.
