I don't work in a film-related industry at present, but I 
have worked for two companies that brought me to varying 
levels of intimacy with the film industry. One was a 
media asset management software company that was dealing 
with clients such as Disney (and that acquired a company 
with a tool which had been used in the making of The 
Matrix), and one was a DVD rental company, which showed 
me quite a different side of the entertainment business.

I'd love to do work even closer to the making of feature 
films, but having recently moved further -away- from L.A., 
my chances are probably that much slimmer.
