I was actually struggling today due to my lack of sleep my frazzled mind was having to work overtime. My poor co-worker Robert saw me at the end of the day...he was trying to converse with me and I was just a mess.
He actually told me to go home and get some rest. What a kind man!
Anyhow the reason that I am having the BEST day ever is that I got a late call from Randall (me and Kim have been crewing his film) and he told me that he wouldn't be needing my help for tomorrow's shoot especially since I live all the way out in Oro Valley.
He's such an angel. But he has consistently been the nicest guy to work on the set with. Its hard to find a BFA who is easy to work with. There are usually two extremes: either they micromanage too much or they don't act as the leader. Neither choice is easy or conducive to a good production.
There are the few that balance that line and are both cool/calm leaders that trust their crew. Then there are those that inherently distrust their crew and do the work themselves. (I hate the distrusting ones...they are like poison to a shoot)
You'd think filmmaking was easier, but teamwork is an art in itself.
Sooooo anyways I am sleeping in tomorrow morning. So that means I will likely be ready for my meeting with my cast on Sunday (my God I'm the director) AND I will still get to hang out with my co-workers at the park for a picnic. I miss them so much!
When you think about it that Randall just saved my life if not my weekend. He's a good guy.
