When someone radios me on the loo

When somebody wants me to do something before my first coffee

When I steal expendable materials after the wrap of a horrible production

When I see equipment fall but I’m too lazy and too far away to help

When a producer aks me to start my job a day earlier, unpaid.

Me after my first feature film vs. me before my first feature film

When a PA is replugging cables and a light goes out

When a superior treats me like shit during shooting and afterwards offers to stay in touch to help me with my career

Finally getting a warm meal after the lunch break was postponed to a dinner break

Shooting a movie at -20 °C (-4 °F) outside

When I want to strangle my team mates after the second day, and I only can hope it will get better

When I’m too worn out for the wrap party but Hey, the drinks are free..

When wardrobe suggests my runners should undress the actor if we can’t find them after wrap

Saying good morning to the main actor I dont like

Set dressers face when the client at a commercial shoot starts rearranging the whole set

When I hear the budget of a very low budget film I wanted to do

Me on my way to the wrap party
