As someone who works in film, I don’t understand how people would be down with that. Our days are stupid long and exhausting. Everyone usually just wants to get home by the time we finally finish
What do you do? I'm super curious about the 'behind the scenes' of the movie industry.
I work in the lighting department! It’s pretty fun work. It’s a little wild and I don’t think it’s for everyone, but I’ve had a lot of way harder jobs that didn’t pay 10% of what I get paid now. The downsides are the incredibly long days, the strange way it works with getting hired; you basically get hired day by day by whomever you made relationships with. Like I’ve never had to “network” before but if you’re competent, pleasant, and willing to work hard, the networking mostly does itself. It’s definitely interesting work. Sometimes I’m in some really swanky private apartment of some really famous person, the next I’m lighting naked models as they writhe around in a bathtub, the next I could be on the street in the rain handling disgusting cables sitting in NYC gutter water, the next I’m working 22hrs in the park on a 100 degree day. It’s wild, but it works for me. I couldn’t go to the same place with the same people everyday. Whenever I did that I was never happy, but I’m pretty content with the amount of variety this work brings
This all sounds really interesting. Much more interesting then all the celebrity gossip that passes as movie news. I would much rather learn about best boys and location managers then about Angelina's Jolie new diet. I had a crazy idea about making a podcast about it but I have no idea about making podcasts :D
It's probably a bit easier if you don't have to care about the quality of the film.
