As a producer, I take things personal! Very personal!
Each production comes with its own challenges, overcoming them makes the production day big fun!
Believe me it is not about the money, it is about the fun! (Well … the money is part of the fun, isn’t it!)
Aaand Cut! …
I really got frustrated when I started directing, and then discovered that the assistant director is the one who gets to shout “Action”!! … But I was then relieved when I learned that I’m the only one on set entitled to shout “Aaand Cut” … and of course .. the lovely one .. “It’s a wrap”!!
A little message to my clients:
“Throwing two tons of rushes in my face does not scare me any more!”
Viewing your 80 hours of rushes in 2 days is truly my pleasure!
Yes … Many times ……. I have done that many times!!
Truly .. It is the cycle of life .. the torch must keep moving!
Plus -of course- it is really amusing to see some new filmmakers suffer a bit! (Evil laugh) …
Then -towards the end of their training- they realize and appreciate all what they got trained on! (Happy Ending!)
