First Day Shooting Sundance

I have some small, tiny, strange, weird, form of respect for my fellow man
so..... I will not be using real names or labels.

So I left you with…..
I was offered a job working as a Personal Assistant for a TV show during Sundance.

The difference between a PRODUCTION Assistant and a PERSONAL Assistant is-
Production- all the errands, running around, getting coffee, keeps tabs on where the talent is located, do shout-outs i.e. "rolling" "flashing", checking schedules, etc for the producers and crew on set.

Personal- Is someone who assists in daily business and personal tasks. Checks schedules, time change, and does all the “bitch work” for the ONE person you are working for.

So more or less..
I am a babysitter of a person or group of adults.
You know it’s my genre
& Everyone starts somewhere
This is where I started.
Such a bad ..bad.. choice.

I show up at (as I was told to) at 5pm on the dot..HOLLA at the Walmart parking lot.
I waited for a half hour then called my boss (Producer “Andrew, lets name him that”)
He said he was on his way. LIES! At 6:45pm he is finally on location, I introduce myself to the talent, and start asking around and try to write up the schedule for the night and next few days.
No one has a bloody clue on what is going on.
My boss, ignores me.. and chats up the group of admiring, young, scantily dressed young ladies that were hanging out with the talent.
Don’t get me wrong, these girls were sweet, but their only grounds on being there was:

To make the talent look like “badass pimp laday killas”

So of course, they were getting the girls drunk.

to be Continued.....

Happy (late) Birthday 2010!

I have many things that have happened!
holycrap
Its already 2010 and I have much to catch the world up on

First things first:

[ Sundance Film Festival ]

....is a film festival that takes place annually in the state of Utah, in the United States.

Every year my friend and I crash it and go to random parties and walk the Main Street and mingle with strangers. We pretend we are different folks. I usually have been Mandy from Texas, and we just madea littla filmmm and we want yall to see it but they didnt pick us for show it, but we deeecided to come up here anywayss to network and whatnot.
Its loads of fun. But this year… I’ll actually be working it.

Strange right?

First, using fake ID with fake accents and getting into clubs with horrible long lines.
Then, getting a job and actually being apart of the celebration.

My job: Personal Assistant

For: The Producer

Wowza .

This girl, riiiight here? lucky dog lucky dog lucky dog.
I am excited but scared, nervous.
I have been an assistant before,......but not for an actual film crew.
Its been for cranky band dudes.
I know I can handle that.
I can manage taking care of 70 teens. So this will (hopefully) be a snap
*snap *snap *snap *snap

also, Studlystud is coming up to Salt Lake to watch a band play. He told me that he 'must' hangout with the friends he is coming with or it would be rude. but I want to be selfish. I want to see him. I want to be rude.

I dont know what tomorrow will bring

lets just make sure i dont piss myself
