What is the key to finding success in the entertainment industry?

“I like having a lighthearted and easygoing environment on set; laughing at work every day really makes a big difference. I find myself laughing with my crew all the time!”

How does First Entertainment benefit you as a creator of entertainment

“First Entertainment Credit Union understands the unique needs of creators of entertainment! It was the first time I felt heard and supported when I needed a loan to boost my career. I didn’t have to prove consistency of income; they understand our craft and position as independent contractors. I felt valued and as if I could really accomplish something BIG! Reaching financial stability is such a great tool for success, and having a credit union that believes in your goals makes it easy to get there.”
