the quick catch up post

In case you missed my insanity, I didn't go to grad school.  I differed admission, stayed in Vancouver and started exploring the film industry. 

To date, my film resume looks something like this.  

May 2008 "Web of Desire" - Assistant to the Production Designer
 - On Set Props
June-July 2008 "Sight Unseen" - computer playback
July- Aug 2008 "The Break-up Artist" - 2nd Assistant Production Coordinator
Aug 2008 "Desperate Hours" - 2nd Assistant Production Coordinator
Aug-Sept 2008 "Christmas Crash" - 2nd Assistant Production Coordinator
Sept 2008 "Triple Dog" - 2nd Assistant Production Coordinator
- head double  ;)
Oct 2008 "Damage" - Producer's Assistant

Producer's Assistant and 2nd Assistant Production Coordinator are basically the same thing, just called differently for the purposes of union life.  "Damage" is a union film, which means we add another level of paperwork.

I live in a beautiful, HUGE basement apartment in a fun, funky (read ancient lamps and weird lightning all around, not smelly) old house.  I have a roommate, Joanna, who is from Taiwan, speaks Chinese and English and is also never home.  She's studying film at University of British Columbia, but she spends most of her time working in tech support.  We have plants but are not allowed pets. 

More late.
