The week of SXSW is pretty much a blur, as I think back upon it. But isn't that how most bad ass times in your life end up? Days pour into each other and the experience is remembered mainly as a whole, but an awesome whole none-the-less!
Lucky for me, there are a few specific things that I remember from that week and a half. Here are a few tidbits that I am taking away as lessons from the grand experience...
One of the cool things I got to do during the week was sit down for a "Mentor Session" with an established producer. I sat down for 10 min with Michael Peyser, the man behind movies such as SLC Punk and Speed 2 (I know, not the biggest movies in the world... but at least hes doing something...), and hear what advise he had for me. He told me that I need to get into the money side of the business, because that is everything. Once you know where the money comes from and where it goes and who controls it, then you can start working your way up into an important position. If you are in charge of the money, you can really have influence on the way things go. Kinda like the Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules. So that is a place to start at.
I also had the chance to talk to another producer (who wasn't nearly as cool or important as Michael Peyser), John Something-or-Another, who told me to read the book "Save the Cat" and its sequels, which are about screenwriting. He said it is important to be able to recognize a good script when you see it. Makes enough sense. He basically said reading the books is as good as going to graduate school for writing. I'm not sure about all that, but its enough motivation to check it out, especially if it comes so highly recommended. I'll at least give the back cover a good once over.
Another thing that I came to learn is that you can't always take what people say at face value and even a sure thing is not a sure thing (a least in the entertainment industry). Allow me to explain. I met several people over the course of the festival whom I good conversations with and exchanged business cards. Many of them work in the industry and were people I considered to be "contacts" I had made that could help me find a job out here in LA. They were all very nice and open to the idea of getting together outside of SXSW. So when I got back to the real world after that crazy week and a half, I called/e-mailed all of them but have yet to hear back from anyone. I'm not bitter about it or anything (Grrr...) and I guess I really wasn't expecting too much to come from it all, but it does kinda suck that none of it worked out. Some had me believing we could be best friends. Like a beautiful flower. But now that flower will never come to be... (huh?)
One last thing that I took away from being at a festival like SXSW is to try not to do too much all at once. Every night there were probably 2 movies and 5 bands that I wanted to see. I would try to get to as many things as I could, but in actuality I ended up walking all over the city, only making it to a few of the things and going to bed exhausted at 3 am. It was still an awesome overall experience and I got to see a lot of the stuff I wanted to, but yea, don't try to do to much all at once. I'm sure that applies to real life some how...
Oh and a side note: I had an interview with a company called Flight 33 for a PA job. They make shows for the History/Discovery Channel. I want to make shows for the History/Discovery Channel, so this would be perfect for me. I really hope I get it! I think I'll find out tomorrow. I just applied for the gig off an internet posting on the website http://www.realitystaff.com and they called me in for an interview. Fingers are crossed!
-Things I've learned: See above.
-Plans for the Future: Pray I get the PA job, hope for a reply from my SXSW "contacts", look for other opportunities in the mean time.

SXSWhirlwind
South By Southwest has ended and now I, and many other people, am thrown back into reality.
But what a time it was! Walking down the streets of Austin you couldn't help to notice the chaos that decended upon the city; it basically transforms for a week and a half. People come in from around the world and the Austin Convention Center becomes a hot-spot for new ideas and collaboration, as the best and brightest share their passions and visions for the future.
Everyone comes to the festival for different reasons: Some come for the music, some for the film and some for the technology innovations. And many times there is not a singular reason to attend, but to come and experience all that SXSW has to offer. It's pretty safe to say that no two people have the same SXSW experience.
My experience is the same: Uniquely different.
This year I was a part of the staff and worked for a department called Studio SX. It was our job to bring in the interesting people for an interview which was filmed infront of a small audience for 10-12 minutes. We brought in everyone from film directors, producers and actors, to musicians, to the interactive keynote speakers. My specific job was Assistant Manager and I filled in where ever needed and made sure things were running smooth. I would help with the talent, ran the camera or edited (if needed) and at one point I even gave one of the interviews. We had a great crew and it was a fun job. In the grand scheme of the festival, Studio SX is pretty small potatoes, but the potential is really big and hopefully next year I can come back and make it better.
On a day-to-day during the festival, I would get off at about 5:30, and go explore. It was usually a mission to try and find the free food and drinks, and most of the time I usually came across something. When the night time rolled in, duing the first half of the week, I would go to a movie or try and find a film party to hit up. It was during these partys that I went to work trying to meet people and network. I did a pretty good job and met a lot of people who are producers and filmmakers that are out in LA, and may be able to help me in my career...
And During the second half of the week when the music got started I got off at 5:30 and would try to find free stuff, then figure out which bands I wanted to see. Every night I saw at least five different bands play and most of them I had never heard of, but were amazing I am now a big fan of. It's really a great thing to be apart of.
So, the crazyness of SXSW ended, but that doesn't mean that it is something that I am going to just forget it and move on. I will take everthing I learned and experienced and apply it to life beyond the festival. I think its OK to have a little SXSW crazyness throughout the entire year.
-Things I've learned: Too many things to list here. In future posts I will go more into detail of specific things I learned/experienced that will benefit my career. Just know that a lot was taken in and must be processed.
-Plans for the future: Contact all the people I met through networking and see what that leads to.

On to Bigger and Better things
You have to know when to recognize opportunity and when to draw the line.
So I decided to quit The Asylum. I had to. There really wasn't much else I could learn and I was tired of being used by them for free labor. So I left. Moving on. I am glad that I worked for them while I did, but I am glad I left when I did. I took away what I could from the experience, and now I am off to other enterprises. I was pretty expendable to them anyway; they didn't seem too sad for me to go.
So next is SXSW! I am super excited for this. Last year it was so awesome, and this year it will only be better because I have an idea of what to expect. I am going to fully take advantage of what I can.
Last year I enjoyed myself: I got to do some cool things, see some cool things and be apart of a really cool thing. The only thing is, I didn't really take advantage of all the people that are around for this epic festival. But this year I am changing my game plan a little. Instead of just partaking in the festivities, I am going to try and meet as many people as possible AND enjoy the crazyness. Hopefully one of the people I meet will be able to help me find a job.
I may have to come out of my shell a little and be more aggressive (but not overly-aggressive) but I can't let this chance slip by. Maybe when I come out on the other side of this adventure that is SXSW, I will have a job and actually move up a little in the industry.
-Things I've learned: You have to draw the line somewhere. I'm not sure I was benefiting from working at The Asylum. They were getting more from me than I was from them and I had to realize that. That's ok though, I will be better for it in the end. If not.... at least its a good story.
-Plans for the future: Go to SXSW and rock it like no one has ever rocked it before.

So, Whats new?
Where have I been? I'm going to have to get better about updating this thing...
Production finished on "Sinbad" and people are coming back from Belize. Guess who gets the honor of picking them up at the airport. ME!!.... Uhh, great....
But, its good that things are wrapping up on that production. Hopefully everything went well and there will be a halfway decent movie coming out of it. I'm pretty sure it was impossible for them to not get beautiful shots while down there.
The new thing around the office is the next movie we are working on "Airline Disaster". Again I was helping on the casting, but this time around things went A LOT smoother. I am definitely on board for a smooth casting process. I think I am going to try and make it like that from now on. Yea, that sounds good.
Other than casting, I haven't been doing much else for pre-production. The guys in the higher positions aren't really giving us much to do. We are going to hire other PAs but someone else has been in charge of that. Production is slated to start on Feb. 27 (a week from now) and I will be around for most of that, but not all of it.
That's because I am going back to Austin for SXSW. I am so excited! I talked to my old boss over there and he said I was in for sure. I will be working for this part called StudioSX, where we interview the big filmmakers and musicians and other important people at SXSW. I am just going to be an assistant, but it should be pretty sweet. There won't be any pay, but it comes with some awesome perks: free movies, concerts, and great opportunity for networking. I am going to hand out business cards left and right.
The goal is to make some kind of connection so that I can get a better gig than The Asylum. I have thought about quitting it for a while now and I feel like I have right reason to. They are not paying me to do a job that sucks, with no real opportunity for promotion, for a company that isn't the best in the world (and that is putting it nicely). But alas, I keep coming back. And I have the right reason for that too. Here I am, learning the process of making a film, not a very good film, but a film none-the-less. I am getting a ton of experience that I will be able take with me once I move on. After working at The Asylum, am I much more qualified for more jobs that many other people my age. And that is what keeps me going.
-Things I've learned: Look at the best of every situation. You will live on as a much better person for the experiences.
-Plans for the Future: Work for The Asylum for a couple more weeks, go to SXSW and do some kick ass networking, then come back to LA and The Asylum, but try really hard to find something else.

Oh, Belize...
Production has finally started over in Belize on Sinbad. At least it was suppose to have started on Feb. 2nd, but who knows what they are doing over there.
I really don't know the latest because I haven't been into the office for the past week. My job has been to drive all the cast and crew to the airport so they can get over there. It wouldn't be to big of a deal except their flights have been at 7 o'clock in the morning, they live all over the city and it is an international flight, so it's important to get there early. What that means for me is I've been getting up at 4 o'clock so that I can round people and equipment up. It's about as fun as you imagine it being. So I told them that if I have to wake up super early to drive people to the airport then I'm not coming in to the office. It only seems fair, and they agree. There isn't much going on at the office anyway.
As evidence by this post, I did not get to go to Belize (sorry Uncle Tony). But for a second there, I though I might get to go. Pretty much since they found out they were shooting abroad, they told us the PAs would not go, because there wasn't enough budget. Makes sense, no big deal. But then out of no where, the LA coordinator asks if I have a passport and says they might be shipping me out. I was taken by surprise as I definitely had the mind set that I was not going. Now they are saying they might be taking me to Belize. I didn't know what to think. I eventually came to find that there were two people who where supposed to go before me, but they didn't have passports and were waiting on a "rush order" for them. Who knew you could get a rush on passports? So if they didn't get it then I would go in their place. Well, they got them and I got left behind. Oh, well. I was a little disappointed, but at the same time I'm not really sweating it. I wasn't really expecting to go in the first place and I think it would have been a pretty big ordeal to go down there. Plus, I would have missed out on a lot of early morning drives to the airport (I am now an expert at dropping people off at LAX), and I would be crazy to miss out on that. Or is it the other way around?
Something else exciting is I might be in front of the camera pretty soon. There was a Craigslist post saying a company is hiring people to be extras in movies and TV shows. So I went in and had an audition/interview and they liked me. So now I am going to start receiving a weekly e-mail with productions they are casting and what kind of people they are looking for, and I can submit myself for small roles. It's nothing I'm going to take too seriously, but it will be fun and a little extra money. But who know, maybe I will get lucky with something!
Other than that, I'm still sticking with The Asylum, but actively looking for something else. I guess we'll see if anything comes up.
-Things I've Learned: Be ready for anything. Whether its going to a foreign country on the turn of a dime, or taking people to the airport at the wee hours of the morning.
-Plans for the future: Continue with The Asylum? Find other work? Be an extra on a feature film? Star in a feature film? Eh?

A little sanity at The Asylum
So things have really slowed down around The Asylum.
We finally had our last day (at least I hope...) of casting yesterday. After 6 days of reading people, I am starting to think that I could play some of the roles. I would probably be better than some of the people that came in to audition (it's ridiculous, some of the people who came in) . I guess its good that I got to go through all of the casting ordeals, because I feel like I am much better at judging talent than I was before. And now I know how to run an audition and am ready for the next time I have to do it. I know what to do and I know (a whole lot) what not to do.
So now I am just working in the production office and things are not very exciting anymore. I check the e-mail or call over to Belize to see if there is anything they need me to do. Most of the stuff is research or finding info on what ever random thing they need to know about (rock climbing place for stunts, body paint, fake teeth, shipping and customs, just to name a few). Every now and then I fill out some paper work or do other random things. I will tell you, they're really getting their moneys worth out of me (I don't get paid).
I would like to stay at The Asylum for the next film they are making, but I want to start getting paid. If they ask me to stay on it would be difficult to say no. This is a good place to work because I get a lot of experience in a lot of departments and everyone is really cool, but I kind of want to move on to bigger and better things. What those are and where I find them, I don't know....
-Things I Learned: the audition process, the work of an office PA (even if it's at The Asylum which is a beast unlike any other)
-Plans for the Future: Keep working at The Asylum while searching for other opportunities

Working in The Asylum
Yea, it kind of is like working in an Asylum. A little crazy.
So I have been working at The Asylum for almost a week now and it has been really cool. I'm glad that I got this gig because I am getting to do a lot of stuff. There are two other PAs with me and we have really been keeping things moving for the production.
Mainly what I have been doing is working on casting. The other PAs and I pretty much run the auditions we have been having for the past couple of days. It's actually a lot of fun. I am the one who has been reading the sides (mini scripts) with the actor during the auditions. They will come in and go through the scene once with me, then we will tell them if we have any notes or things we want them to change about their performance. They go again and if we like them, then we will have them read a second set of sides. But if they weren't any good we just say "Ok, thank you very much" and smile as they leave the room and put their head shot in the "No" stack. Sometimes the directors are in there and they decide if they like them or not, but usually it's us PAs who are deciding their fate.
This is because most of the production is taking place in Belize and the two directors and the producer are already there. And no, I am not getting to go... me and the PAs are holding down the fort here in LA. Oh, well. They send us an email from time to time telling us something we need to look up or an errand we need to take care of for them. But mainly we have been keeping busy with the auditions.
The Asylum keeps pretty busy as a whole. There is one production that is wrapping now, while this one is getting started. Everything they do here is low-budget, so they can really churn out movies. That makes things around the office kinda hectic. A bunch of people doing a bunch of different things. It was a little difficult for us because we had been working with the producer, but she left for Belize at the beginning of the week, so we were left by ourselves for a little while, trying to figure things out. We now have a LA coordinator, but it was a little crazy for a while there.
But overall it has been good. There is a chance they might keep me on for the next movie, which would be pretty awesome. I'm still not getting paid, but I am getting to do some cool stuff and I am learning along the way, so it is ok for now. I guess I would just be sitting at home doing nothing if I wasn't here...
-Things I've learned: To just go with the flow. Sometimes things may seem like they are going off-the-wall, but you just have to keep your head on strait and go with it and figure out a solution to whatever problem there is.
-Plans for the Future: Hopefully to keep working here and getting some more experience. I will keep look for the next thing, but I wouldn't mind putting some more time in here.

They send us an email from time to time telling us something we need to look up or an errand we need to take care of for them. But mainly we have been keeping busy with the auditions.
The Asylum keeps pretty busy as a whole. There is one production that is wrapping now, while this one is getting started. Everything they do here is low-budget, so they can really churn out movies. That makes things around the office kinda hectic. A bunch of people doing a bunch of different things. It was a little difficult for us because we had been working with the producer, but she left for Belize at the beginning of the week, so we were left by ourselves for a little while, trying to figure things out. We now have a LA coordinator, but it was a little crazy for a while there.
But overall it has been good. There is a chance they might keep me on for the next movie, which would be pretty awesome. I'm still not getting paid, but I am getting to do some cool stuff and I am learning along the way, so it is ok for now. I guess I would just be sitting at home doing nothing if I wasn't here...
-Things I've learned: To just go with the flow. Sometimes things may seem like they are going off-the-wall, but you just have to keep your head on strait and go with it and figure out a solution to whatever problem there is.
-Plans for the Future: Hopefully to keep working here and getting some more experience. I will keep look for the next thing, but I wouldn't mind putting some more time in here.
