I always wanted to work in film, but life circumstances had me choosing the more responsible/stable option. 12 years into my corporate gig, I feel ready to venture out into the filmmaking world. I aim to start as a line producer or production head and gradually transition into a more permanent role. Has anyone tried to break into this field in their 40s? How did you do it, how did it go, how is it going?

Jumping into film in your 40s is definitely doable here. Llots of people switch careers later on. Starting as a line producer is smart since your corporate skills translate well. Networking at industry events and volunteering on sets helped many get their foot in the door. It takes patience, but persistence pays off.

Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
