dud your pretty much screwd , you cant walk in and wing it, unless everyone your working for is right out of college. and even then, stay away from LA , NY . Truthfully walk away from the production, tell them you have cancer in the brain . Mother on her Death bed , or wake up in the morning and just tell them the truth. they might let you stay on as a PA. if there brain dead . But let me tell you a secret my first movie was femme fatelle. back in 91 . Check it out was my very first show I think it was a Vidmark production. I got hired as a pa , pay was really shitty, hours long. So make a long story short I Lied just what you are doing now. My assperations were not any were close to yours. But in the real world, of the movie business out here inhollywood. Just as ballzy. Said I could take on the job as a simple grip. working under Dave Footman. after a girl grip had not been un able to show up the night after some very fine spirits . in which i had purchased for her. I think your following me now. Stay close it gets better . his best boy Was ellis james some kiwi . First and still the hardest working best boy i ever met till today. bastard work my ass off. still didnt gain any where near the abilities to even take own being a dolly grip best boy for several movies later. and there not even close to being a key grip. please in THE END when those credits start to follow, every one will know. and they will never call you again. sweat , exhaustion 110hr weeks, for ever. then and only then will you be close. PEOPLE SKILLS ARE A MUST. Not the gift of gabe which has put you in your perdicment. IS THE MONEY REALLY WORTH IT. if you say no your an idiot. if you say yes. You might be able to work for me some day. WORK HARDER THAN ANYONE. DO EVERYTHING. FIND SMARTER PEOPLE THAN YOU TO DO THE JOB. EVERY ONEis HUNGRY.your lucky i had a little time to spend on a fellow liar today. dont feel bad everyones done it. from spielberg on down. Hey if they can look themself in the mirror. what the hell give it a shot . YOU GOT BALLS DUDE . check me credits. then give me a call , will be happy to help you . email me at (redacted) Only after you’ve check me out. if you dont just run as fast as you can dont look back cause Ill make sure you never do a show again. Realize its not all about the money . ITS about the art of being all you can be. looking foward to hearing from you peace out. todd england nicodemus.
