One of my favorite things about working on movie sets is meeting great people who are like me. I am not talking about things such as having the same interest and liking the same music, although that is nice to. I mean people that are like me. It takes a certain type of person to work in the film industry. not everyone can go to work for some one who is yelling, and i mean yelling at them about something they have no control over and still come back the next day. It takes a certain type of personality to be able to go to a different place and work with people they don’t know while doing something new every day. most people would quit a job that required them to work a 96 hour work week. people who work in film vary as with any place but every one on a movie set has at one point said” i knida like this job.” Granted that most people initially get sucked in to the “glamor of working on movies” but soon realize that glamor only happens in the theater with a tub of popcorn in your lap. Once they see the truth they and decide “if its not glamours i’m not doing it” they get out and find a different job. the true movie people that you meet are the ones that when you ask them “how long have you been doing this?” their reply is “too long, or long enough to know better.” most of these people want to get out of the business but it won’t let them go. you can leave the movie business but it never leaves you. I have left the business three times. I have had “Real Jobs” but i was not made to have a “Real Job”. Do I love what I do? Most days i would answer “Hell no, but i hate every thing else”.
But i digress, I love meeting great people in this business. every now an then you meet people that you really connect with, share similar life stories or complete opposite life stories. some times when you meet these people you want them dead, only later down the road they turn out to be your best friend. the truth is when working on a movie you spend more time with the people you work with than you do with your family. Some times you end up knowing more about them than their family does, and vice versa. Ok i will stop throwing up on this blog and end by saying I love making new friends. Good friends make the wast of time that is filmmaking bareable.
