The comments on the DGA agreement deadline article The comments on the DGA agreement deadline article can keep you entertained for awhile! 😆
The Production Coordinator is doing a LOT! More th The Production Coordinator is doing a LOT! More than I ever thought if I'm being honest. Glad I had @keystotheproductionoffice authors to give me the low down on their responsibilities. Check out the video with the link in my bio. Priority viewing is up now for my channel members 😎

New DGA contract, and I think the major one for me New DGA contract, and I think the major one for me specifically being an AD is the reduction in my day! I went from a 9 hour turnaround to 10 hours of time off between work days with the rest of the crew and that's huge! I'm happy that gained this much ground this negotiating year! 💃
Did you ever wonder what the Production Office doe Did you ever wonder what the Production Office does? Me too! I couldn't never really describe it, and I'm so glad I had the authors from @keystotheproductionoffice to really articulate what it is the Production Office does. A lot of folks don't know it exists, and that hinders the opportunities that are available to everyone. You don't know what you do not know! If this reel serves one purpose it's to give awareness to those positions in film that no one really knows about that could interest many people out there!

The Production Office is so overlooked, underrated The Production Office is so overlooked, underrated, and largely unknown, I had the great opportunity to interview Authors of @keystotheproductionoffice and UPMs Jennifer Haire and Gilana Lobel about what exactly the Production Office does, and how much they do for a film or tv show.

The Assistant Director track can lead to Director The Assistant Director track can lead to Director - many have done this, but it's not the only path to Directing!
SAG is not playing around they're coming out with SAG is not playing around they're coming out with guns blazing! They're asking for authorization even before their talks begin! God bless us all y'all! I hope negotiations go well for them when they start on June 7th @sagaftra

When I first started I was NOT the best version of When I first started I was NOT the best version of myself. I really expected everything to go the way I wanted with my horrible attitude towards basically everything. I was blocking out so many ppl and wasn't making the connections needed to succeed in film. Thankfully I had one person that saw past my harsh exterior. It kept my career alive until I realized who I wanted to be on set. I'm so grateful for that one life line!
Well... This is like a forced time off bc of the s Well... This is like a forced time off bc of the strike, but I stand by this. When you work in film burn out is real. You can become so stressed out show after show, it is important to make sure to take time for yourself, step away from work on set to recharge and do the things you love. I got to the point where I almost walked away from. Film altogether! But being on set really is my happy place, but the hours and stress def got the best of me.

You have to get out there and meet your people - a You have to get out there and meet your people - and that might take you a lot more tries than you're ready for. It took a long while to find those ppl that I felt comfortable to be myself with and those I wanted to work with over and over.
