It's crazy, cuz, when it comes down to it, you only have a few people committed commited, like, really there every day for a project for months on end. Usually on one to four people, and with only one you'll die, with two you hate each other, and with four people some feel left out!

Producing is rough and all encompassing...I have taken and not taken producing credits when I have always earned them, but I never want to be the primary producer.

What also trips me out is if I write and direct a film ultimately most of the artistry of the film rests with me then my dp, producer, actors, and editors, but on the set for a student shoot there are people such as the ac's, and the gaffers and that super pa that are absolutely indespensible for the whole thing! And getting them to commit without creative input or real return except experience trips me out.

Goddamn, I need to write and make another film already!
