The short version is being a PA on I Am Legend blew hard. I was going out Saturday night to a bar in NJ when a gal on the production staff called and wondered if I might be able to come and work Sunday morning at 4:45 am. I was like, sure, yes, Id love to work and make some money. At this point I still hadn't gotten myself onto a east coast sleeping schedule, after being here for what, a month? So I was like, I'll go out tonight and then come home, take a shower, and go to work. 100 PA's showed up, it rained all day and it was the most unorganized production I have ever seen in my life. Most of these poor kids have only worked as PA's and some of them were just hired off the streets so they didn’t know what they were getting themselves into. Since I've helped to organize my fare share of productions I could tell this one was horrible. No one had time for you, instructions were spars and no one knew the answer to any questions or who to ask about them. So, I worked a day, came home delirious and went to bed. I told them I could work the rest of the crew week but I didn’t work Monday, instead I apply for other jobs. Yesterday I got a call from
Bluerock, a hot post production house, and today I interviewed for a job and then was promptly offered it. So yeah, take that I Am Legend. I'm not going to be standing outside all winter trying to clear the street of people so Will Smith can look like the last man alive. I start Monday and I'm pretty happy about how things worked out. The company promotes from within so I feel like it's a really good place to for me to be right now.
LOST season three premiers tonight. We are having a cocktail hour plus chocolate cake to celebrate my second job. Its gonna rule.
Yeah. So, that's that.
