Is there a certain format your resume should be in? Also should you limit it to just one page?

Thanks!

It depends if you're going for theatre or for film.
For film, you put the film first. For theatre, you put theatre first.
My agent gave me a resume format that was from a Mike Fenton workshop, and he has film/indies first (not student films). t.v. second. Other films third (this includes student, video, industrials. commercials next, with the saying "list upon request", whether you have them or not. theatre, training and skills, in that order.

Hey Aussie... there's a huge forum on this subject, and I think it has advice on both film and theatre resumes. I'll bump it for you.
