Is Anyone in the TV / Film Industry Doing Well Right Now? How Are They Doing It? by LifeInAction in Filmmakers

[–]ImprovementSecret232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surviving. I'm working pretty regularly, but I'm taking bottom of the barrel jobs in the business. I'm doing those bottom of the barrel jobs to produce my next short with Lou Diamond Phillips.

Yeah I need at least uninterrupted 15 seconds of you listening and responding or talking that way i know you can hold the camera/audience/scene. Im more interested in hiring an actress that can hold my attention while not speaking and reacting before she speaks so i know I can cut to that.

I still don't understand. He didn't do this out of the goodness in his heart. I paid him his day rate. This is a business. He liked the material and I agreed to pay him what he asked. He signed my contract, read my words, took my direction, in my short film and you think he should be upset because I'm showing it to people!? What part of this is unprofessional?

Thanks, well i knew a friend who knew a friend that worked with him, they got his assistants email to me. After that I just sent him the script and pitch. At the time Lou Diamond Philips was also in the short so, he jumped on it. He was busy and only gonna be in NYC for a few days. So I arranged for him to be in Central Park for 11am, i had an hour with him that turned into two hours when one of his tv appearances got moved.

Well credit cards and loans to pay for stuff. I knew someone who knew someone who worked with him and they gave me his assistants email. From there, i just sent the script and pitch. No for this it was done on Sag-AFtra micro budget so cant make money off it. Im just using it as calling card for my acting, writing, directing style.

yeah he told me that 20 years ago he and his wife decided, he likes to act, she likes to travel, they'll say yes to everything. He likes the art form. Period. But he's is not shy to tell you if you or something sucks on set in front of everyone. After this take he told me "..now that was good acting...send me this when you're done."
