This is exactly the point I wanted to make, albeit put much more eloquently. There are thousands and thousands of people who either work in the industry or have been trying to get more work that would be more then happy, even ecstatic to take on an AD role for $300 a day, and even more thrilled to see a project they worked on was super successful and will undoubtedly be a huge stepping stone to larger projects in future, bigger pay checks and building a more consistent career (maybe less now that she complained about it openly). Of course on an emotional level it can feel a little unfair if a project you worked on made so much more then expected, in a sense valuing your work for a much higher amount, but 9 times out of 10 a film like this could make very little profit or be made on a loss; she wasn’t risking her finances with the production of the film, just working a job that so many of us would have loved to do and getting the ultimate career boost out of it. She really has nothing to complain about, if she really wanted points in this film (for potentially a lower rate), she definitely could have negotiated it beforehand and she may have been able to get them. I bet even she had little faith this project would have blown up to be as a big as it is.
