Careers in RTF
As radio, television, film, digital video, graphics, multimedia, extended reality, and gaming worlds continue to evolve, intersect, and converge in many cases, the scope of RTF-related skills continues to expand, to include within these creative industries. While a field that requires dedication and tenacity, ACC RTF students and graduates have gone on to work on major motion picture and television productions, at network television and radio stations, advertising agencies, corporate media departments, film, and video production houses, in freelance production and post-production, with gaming/interactive and web-based media companies, film and television studios, film festivals, and production equipment houses. RTF provides advising/support along degree/certificate pathways which prepare students for internship & job opportunities.
Please also see the Texas Film Commission’s resources on negotiating a rate or competitive salary as well.
