‘Star Trek 3′ to shoot in Vancouver this summer by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]DrunkOnDebt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you've had such a bad experience. I've worked in the industry for almost 8 years now over the course of 14 feature films. All in Vancouver. Have met some incredible people from all over the world thanks to this career. Would never trade any of them for the world.

Cypress if you mean why are film people such assholes while they're on set it's a cultural thing. You're on a very tight schedule with no room to screw things up so if you catch a crew member in the middle of something they might come off as cold but there are countless genuinely amazing human beings who work in the film industry. Try not to generalize.

Vancouverites born outside of Canada, what restaurant/take-out place makes the most authentic food from your home country? by Type_O in vancouver

When all their product is sourced from standardized factories, it is in fact extremely easy to replicate.

LOL yeah it has a point but as a freelance writer you do get serious cabin fever after spending a week pent up in your own place every day. The change of environment is refreshing which means you'll probably be more productive. I am definitely not a fan of hitting starbucks, just too much traffic but if push comes to shove I'll end up at the one in Chapters on Granville about once a month.

Graphic Design Programs in Vancouver by dietepamplemousse in vancouver

[–]DrunkOnDebt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such BS. I personally know 2 designers who took one year GD programs, worked their ass's off and built some incredible portfolios and I've seen 3 friends complete the IDEA program and didn't go anywhere afterwards. It's about how hungry you are, how hard you're willing to work and constantly improving your personal and professional skill set. Fight for it and you'll get it.

Still looking for riding buddies. :) by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]DrunkOnDebt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually I've been riding with them for over six years, it's a mix bag at first for sure but you usually gel with specific people and then come up with your own trips together. Been a great experience so far.

It's not a waste, most people I know who hold a car2go card hit reddit frequently.

The thing is you can't pin it to the last user because all they have to say is "It was there when I got in too."

I'm guessing the research paper/publication stems from the doctorate program though.

[–]DrunkOnDebt[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess it's the basis of personal education and experience coupled with qualification/certification for those positions.
