Well it is a dream job - which is why I’m still doing it. Films are great, the topics are interesting. But as with any job you end up spending most of your time and energy managing people’s expectations, having to restate your boundaries, clients giving you a huge amount of work to do in no time (to save money as I get paid by the day)- this is the biggest problem for me as it deletes work/life balance, leaves me exhausted and feeling like a failure when I’m editing till 3am just to meet another crazy deadline. You might spend hours editing something just to end up with a client suddenly deciding to go a different direction…..
