this is it.


I just got back from the bestest shoot ever, Waverly Films'music video of Joey Negro's "Make a Move". Like I told the guys, I learned more in a day and a half than I have in the YEAR and a half I've been working for DOCS.


I was a PA for the weekend - my first professional gig, even though I did it for free. I ran for this and that, drove a van around Queens getting groceries, picked stuff up, put stuff down, and ran playback. Even though we only played the song for about 2-3 shots, EVERYBODY got it stuck in their heads for all of Sunday. Not only did we participate in a low-budget-yet-creatively-awesome shoot, but now we'll all be lifetime fans of Joey Negro and his "taste me make me" girls.

I had a blast! A really great guy, Patrick, took the task of showing me the ropes and teaching me the ins and outs of a PA's responsibilities. Our immediate 'boss', the 1st Assistant Director, Eric, was just as cool! It seemed at times like a big group of friends that just happened to be adept at filmmaking were hanging out. We all had fun (except for my feet, I was standing for 12 hours) and cranked out something that will rock your freaking socks off.

There were 4 other PAs besides myself: Noelle, Zeke, some guy reading Shakespeare, and the guy who didn't talk much. What a kickass team we were. There almost seemed like there were too many of us for the job - it was definitely a stereotypical 'hurry up and wait'.

This project was such a change of pace...it was just great. Great great great great..I can type that forever with just my left hand! Great great great great...try it!
