May day job is doing sound for film, but I work in the indie film world so that means being able to wear a lot of hats. Related the sound thing I also sometimes write code for DSP or digital asset management, but more on an ad-hoc than a product basis. Films have a lot in common with startups, and film production requires a lot of McGyver-type hacking and increasingly, good computer skills.

^ This. The overlap is extremely high, and most of the time, the budget (read: VC) is much, much higher and the timeline is way faster for realizing the bulk of the return on investment. Shark tank my ass, try film. :)
