Best Buy offered me a job. I accepted. Then North by Northwest called and said lets get together and talk about all the movies we have lined up. I was like, sure, no problem, I've only been waiting all summer and I've just secured myself a new job. But, why not?
So, yesterday morning I went into North by and it looks as though I'll have some work to do in September on a movie called The Contract. Probably only about two weeks of work since the majority of the movie is being filmed in Bulgaria, though, it takes place in Spokane. Yeah, I don't know. Budgets are crazy in the land of movies. After that we will start prepping for a movie that will shoot in October. I don't think North by will be taking on any projects as big as End Game for a long time. Most of the movies will be 22-24 day shoots, not including pre-production. On the movie shooting in October I'll be a PA in the office until shooting begins and then I will for sure be taking on the role of the 2nd 2nd assistant director. We talked a lot about teaching ourselves and learning to be more prepared for the movie. I have a book to read and we are going to be getting together weekly to do various movie related sessions. I'm really excited about this because we will be getting to know more about things I'm interested in. Its important for me to know as much as I can about camera angles, lenses, actor protocol and SAG rules. I know those are some of the things we will be going over along with call sheets and PR’s. I do like money and being busy so I'm going to try and hang on at Best Buy for as long as I can. There is no need for me to quit before I've started. And who knows, maybe I will do such a good job and make such an impression they will let me take breaks to do movies and come back during off time. It would be ideal but I don't know if it would benefit the company in the long run. We will see. I start Thursday with new employee training.

I need some belts.

Today my Dad came into my room at the crack of dawn and conned me into working for him in the afternoon. You cant just go around asking people if they want to work out in the hot sun all day when they are half asleep. Honestly. I ended up working from about 11:30 to 5:00. I'm just not a manual labor kind of girl. I like my keyboard. You cant get dirty typing and unless you're doing something wrong sweating isn't usually involved in computer work either. It was only 85 today so it could have been worse and I didn't have to work all day either which was good. I probably would have died otherwise.

On a side note EWU e-mailed me and said they need some more web site work done so I'm going to try and go in next week and earn me some more moneys. Money is something I have little of right now and my goal is to make more. I think it's a pretty good plan. 0 comments
