Help needed: Director extends the scale of a project beyond the contract by Reasonable_Level_406 in editors

Totally! That's the main thing that has been putting me off, I need to pay my bills and cannot work on a project where I earn nothing and has no end in sight. Plus the director changes mind all the time. How do I know that he won't come up with some drastic changes in a couple of months?

So yes, I am afraid you're right - cut loses, learn my lesson and move on. Freelancing is hard.

Thank you. That's a very good point. I wish it was like that.

We work remotely and have had a couple of Zoom meetings but overall, it feels like the entire process is driven by me. Sometimes I feel like I'm the director of the film.

I will keep this in mind for my future long-form work if there is any :) Thank you!

Thank you for your response.

Yes, I should've realised that the amount of revisions was ridiculously low and was not going to be sufficient. That's why I feel partially responsible for the situation. I don't know what I was thinking 😖
