The Heist

Wintertime is impossible slow for me. last year i was working at teh ice sculpture studio so i wasnt aware of the fact teh winter is usually a dead season for productions.
and witht eh strike it is a particualr bare workfeild.
So i have much free time on my hands these days. besides a few days in Lipstick jungle here or there to pay the rent i am usually spending my days painting or making hand made christmas presents. yes it is gonna be one of those chrsitmas's.
I got a call to work on a SCAD grad thesis film that was shooting a few exteriors here in new yroks. Though i will get nothing out of and i barely know the grad student whose film it is. I agreed to help out anyways. I was all exteriors, mostly night and shooting on a rooftop in Bushwick. the first night it began to snow and ice over the roof.
I did a bunch of runs so unlike most of crew i spent little time lingering on the roof. But i will give much props to the cew that came all the way up from the warmth of Savannh to stand ona windy winter rooftop to make this movie happen. They probably one of the best crew i have seen in a long time.
they reminded me of some of teh better crew i got to be a patr of before i left savannah. I was really proud of them.
