Dear Hiring Team,

I am excited to apply for the Made in New York PA Training Program because I am eager to break into the film industry and prove my dedication through hard work, reliability, and a willingness to learn. Although I may not have formal experience in production yet, I am coachable, dependable, and unafraid of the long hours and physical work that come with being a PA. I truly want a chance to be part of this industry and am ready to do whatever it takes to earn my place.

From a young age, I have been fascinated by visual storytelling. Growing up, I used my imagination to escape difficult moments, and that creativity led me to photography and scriptwriting. When I got my first camera, I started capturing New York’s energy through my lens, and I realized my true passion: film. Now, I dream of working on set, learning from professionals, and contributing to productions in any way I can.

I understand that this industry requires commitment, resilience, and a strong work ethic. I am ready to start from the ground up, take direction, and work hard to prove myself. Whether it’s carrying equipment, assisting the crew, or handling any other tasks, I will approach every opportunity with enthusiasm and determination.

This program is the opportunity I have been searching for, and I would be honored to be part of it. Thank you for your time and consideration—I hope to have the chance to show you my dedication and work ethic in person.

Sincerely,

Dylan Mihalik
