a most unprofessional director/producer
Fri, 29 Sept 2000, 09:47 amJust a Warning
I have recently had the miss fortune to work with The Most Unprofessional Director I have ever found.
I admit it was not theater, but one has to eat.
My agent found me work with Emma Green for a film Leadfoot
My agent told me there woud be
1) contracts,but no payment if no sales
2) a costume department
3) a professional make up artist
4) propper support
5) a professional production and crew
what there was :
1) no contract ( I was doing it for the exposure any way)
2) I had to provide my own costume
3) I had to do my own makeup, with my own stuff, and do other people as well, again with my gear
4) no support, little help
5) times very loose, shots scheduled for 6.00 often did not start untill 9.00 or 10.00
6) Props were often not there, and had to be improvised
I have heard of other problems like members of the producton team getting "Sacked" and techies not getting paid for things like gear rental and stuff.

I get very cross when people say" If you want professional treatment go work for a professional company"
Professionalism should not be confined to the professional arena!!!
Everybody understands that things go wrong. It is an unavoidable fact of life. However if you can maintain a professional attitude towards both your work and your co-workers you will probably find that you won't get bagged out a public web site.
Hmmm... just my opinion
