I ultimately want to go into film. That's not secret. Endgame = film. If I have to make some pitstops on the way that's ok. One problem - the film part of my resume is a liiiiitle shabby. So what am I doing? ANSWERING EVERY AUDITION FLYER AND CASTING CALL I CAN FIND WITHIN MY AREA. So a lot of student films.
I filmed a TCF (Telecommunications & Film here at UA) project last Friday that was tons of fun, even if the subject matter was not. In this silent short, I played a homeless woman who finds herself at a point of no return. It was super cold outside but the crew was very sweet and it was a very efficient shoot. From my meager film experience, however, I notice that crew is VERY kind to their actors. This may not be a industry wide occurrence, but the three shoots I've done have all been very pleasant experiences for me. I understand how actors get big heads now. After every take someone was telling me "Great job, yeah that was perfect! You're great! etc ad naseum." It's very flattering but felt very undeserved. I just sat on my fat ass while the crew did all the hard work. Acting is a lot of hurry up and wait. I'd never say acting isn't hard (it really really is) but the crew deserves so much more appreciation.
So to my once and future crews - you guys are AMAZING!!! and we actors would be horribly lost and destitute without you.
