Catching up…

I haven’t posted a thing since May 19th so I’m long overdue for an update of some sort. My creative energy (and every other kind of energy one has) is going elsewhere lately. Where has it gone? Into getting work in the film industry.

Aside from growing out this mop of hair DGC membership has been the priority. Why? Job stability. Even though I’ve worked as an AD I can’t continue to do so on Guilded shows until I’m a member. The old union thing rears it’s socialist head. Once on the other side of it I’m sure my view will change (or maybe not). There are a ton of hoops to jump through to get there, but many are covered already. I had four courses to take before I could get my DGC Permittee logbook (for those interested here’s the info on the DGC permittee program). I’m now a qualified traffic control person for example. So, if all this movie stuff tanks, I can go stand on a highway with a stop/slow sign and piss drivers off.

Now I have 150 days to get as a permittee to obtain associate membership in the Guild. As of this evening it will be down to 148. LOL! I’ve added a progress bar to the left nav as well so y’all can follow along.

Yesterday I worked on another Insight show called, “Her Fatal Flaw” where I was actually prompted to update my blog. The Locations Manager, Mick Rochon mentioned that he reads this blog once in a while and knows I’ve been busy as to the frequency of posting.

Tonight it’s off to, yes, Masters of Horror season 2! It’s only a day call but I am excited about getting to work on the show at all. Maybe they’ll like me and give me more work. Doesn’t really matter though. I have work lined up throughout June and into July, but if Masters of Horror were to offer me full-time work I’d sure as hell take it.
