I do have one question though: are business cards suitible for people like me or should I just get my resume to as many people as posible?

The whole idea of this industry is oversaturation. Send that resume EVERYWHERE you can. Even if they're not hiring, do it anyway. I would suggest "contact" cards....they're similar to business cards but list your training and what you hope to be-
For example:

looking to work in screenwriting-directing-producing
Among doing all that, you just need to network. You might have really great talent but until you work as an intern/unpaid assistant etc. it's hard to get your foot in the door. After you are doing shit jobs (or possibly learning something) you might meet someone looking for XXX....then you go do that and meet someone else who is willing to use you for screenwriting....see?
