What is the best way to get contacts for becoming succesful in the film industry?

Getting in the film industry is all about who you know. I want to be a movie director and I want to know where Im going to go after film school. How do I get as many affiliates as possible to give me the best possible foundation to achieve my goal?|||Meet with other filmmakers and actors at film festivals, filmmaker conventions, film school, etc. Also, make films. Build a reputation. You can also get a Twitter and Facebook account to get in contact with filmmakers.
