That's one problem with working such a popular show -- on a money-maker like that, the hammer of double-time no longer provides sufficient deterrent to keep the producers from pushing the crew to the limit.<br /><br />One way or the other, episodics always seem to find a way to kill us...<br /><br />12 pt --<br /><br />I hear that, too. Having once been on the outside looking in and desperate to break through, I remember how it felt -- and it sucked. Things finally worked out for me, and although these are very different times, it'll happen for you. You just have to keep trying hard -- and harder -- and sooner or later a door will open. Just be ready to make the most of the opportunity when it does.<br /><br />Breaking in is never easy, but it can be done. Good luck...Michael Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569781786039595929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-36659421620007052012011-04-24T21:06:32.685-07:002011-04-24T21:06:32.685-07:00All I'm trying to do right now is actually GET...All I'm trying to do right now is actually GET on set. 15 hours seems awesome to someone green with an open schedule and bills to pay. :)<br /><br />Good post as always. <br /><br />...and people wonder why the film industry is unionized...12pthttp://12ptcourier.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-10796282576601799232011-04-24T19:14:04.268-07:002011-04-24T19:14:04.268-07:00Thaks for the shout out Michael.

I'm definitely not 25 anymore.** Just as an aside, my show actually has a 12 hour overtime deal but believe me, at 15 hours you don't really give a shit.<br />DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466991423411721535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-27477998670320637912011-04-24T17:00:19.518-07:002011-04-24T17:00:19.518-07:00Hazel --
