Is there a job that blends logistics and TV/Film or Art Production?

Hello I have about 4 years of experience in logistics. I started in packing/shipping moved on to become a team leader and now I am slowly transitioning into becoming an inventory planner. I can't say this is a field I am passionate about, but I can't say I hate it either. There's positivity in knowing that I am part of a field that is considered a backbone to a growing company. However, the positivity isn't enough to overshadow the tedium that comes with the job. There are times when I feel like I am just a cog in the machine. I started working full-time in logistics right after dropping out of college. I wasnā€™t performing well in school (probably because I was not passionate enough about my classes or future at the time), so I planned to take a year off and work full-time while also figuring some things out. As the years go by while also gaining raises and role changes, returning to school becomes less of a priority. However, this just resulted in pigeonholing myself into a potential career in the supply chain. Iā€™m not too concerned about this. Iā€™ve concluded that I will not be going back to school unless it is 100% need it to achieve the desired career. But if I am to continue working in logistics, I want to know if this field can be found in something that I am interested in, TV/film production. Admittedly, I have never worked on any form of media, but I have dedicated many hours watching films. I am especially interested in the behind-the-scenes and production history of a film project. Because I have zero experience, I canā€™t confidently say this would be a career path that is a right fit for me. But I think there are similarities in working in logistics and working behind the scenes of a media project. Alternativity, I am curious to know if their logistics type careers in art projects in general. I spent a weekend in NYC, and I visited a place Artechouse. Their mission is to ā€œprovide the most advanced exhibition platforms so that pioneering new media artists can create and show their work without limitationsā€. The exhibit I witnessed at the time was incredible and it made me wonder about the logistics of creating it. I admire Artehouseā€™s mission, and it made me consider how great it could be to support artists in accomplishing their projects in any way possible. Iā€™ve never created any form of art, but I am interested in awakening some type of creativity in me. I think being the supported for art with my experience in logistics can help me realize that. If anyone can help point me on the right path to what I am thinking about, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
