Play-off season is always stressful but these refs are killing me. Oh, Blazers. Rebound.
Trying to get accurate crew rates for Portland- I fell like all my numbers are "off" and wish I could get an honest rundown on what people are getting paid. I've got calls and emails out but no one is getting back to me. Meanwhile we're prepping the script for the Line Producer and an Air Force contact to help make sure we don't get caught up in red tape trying to get DoD approval for filming on base. I think we're going to be okay but I'd like a 2nd set of "official" eyes to take a look. Business plan is close to where it needs to be- drop in that new and accurate budget and we should be cookin' soon...
Yesterday I was in a video shoot for a company that makes office equipment for better audio. Like teleconferences, meetings, etc. I played the overeager team leader who is like Dwight Shrute's soul mate. It was weird to not be on crew and fun to do some acting again. Felt odd to be around the other actors that I used to see at the casting company- a lot of them didn't know I'd done film work in the past. I realize now that as much as I enjoy acting I enjoy it more in small random doses. Too much stress.
We are tentatively leaving for Sunriver in the morning in hopes of doing some filming- weather permitting. They're calling for snow tonight so we may cancel our trip. TBD...
If it takes longer to raise the money for our film I'd like to come up with enough to film the comedy on a low budget. That would be an easy August/September project.
Options are good and I've got plenty.
