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.
