What is the time difference between camera wrap and crew wrap on a report? Thanks! :)
camera wrap is when the camera is done being used for the day and crew wrap is when the crew are done putting away equipment/dumping footage/cleaning up and heading back to their cars.

Thanks for the follow! I enjoyed your piece on location. I just returned to tumblr to host my location scout blog and had a good time reading your stuff.
Glad to hear it! I am due for another update here soon...
Welcome back!!!
Life Update. I’m in Cleveland Ohio once again to 1st AD this rad horror feature from a rad dude, Chris Stuckmann. We begin production shortly and have been prepping. After several years of being away from indie films, it feels nice to be back at the helm again.

Thoughts and prayers. ALL the thoughts and prayers.
Mediocre White Men everywhere.

Y’all… what do you guys do for a living… but describe it in the worst way possible.
I’m a professional cat scheduler and herder.
Any advice for starting screenwriters? I am currently in the process of writing a project right now. I’d love to get any help!
Hello!
The best advice I can give is that if you don't have anyone looking to buy your script right now, write the script you want to write. And understand the first draft is going to be garbage. Like hot flaming garbage. And that's ok! Because no script starts as a work of art. So write the most ridiculous thing you can and hone it back as you go draft by draft. There's no harm in starting big.
If you're looking for production advice with your script, unless you are in actual pre-production for your script, you shouldn't worry about the production aspects of your script. Just get it written!
I’ve been getting some DGA 2nd 2nd AD jobs recently, including a movie in Georgia coming up, so I’ve decided it’s time to be a Big Girl and buy a Big Girl AD Set Box. If you’ve got the cash, I highly recommend investing in the Milwaukee Packout toolbox system. Stackable, durable, and customizable. You can’t see the wheels but the base is wheeled with a large box for deep storage and paperwork (I have a waterproof accordion file holder) and retractable handle and then I added a medium organizing box for walkie bricks, canned air, tape, whatever, and a flat shallow box for pens/sharpies/walkie headset parts/etc.
This is not a necessary thing to do, but all the shows I’ve worked on recently, the 2nd 2nd provided the set box for the show to beat up and my old one was a tired suitcase on wheels that was literally zip tied together. While I still play in indie films, I can’t show up to bigger shows with a ziptied officemax wheeled suitcase thing with a broken leg and a bent lid anymore.

You can’t want to normalize people exploring their gender expression, or being gender non-conforming, and then gatekeep who gets to do it. You can’t have it both ways.
Straight cis men wearing feminine clothing, liking “feminine” things, and defying traditional gender roles is a good thing.
Straight cis women wearing masculine clothing, liking “masculine” things, and defying traditional gender roles is a good thing.
Let cis people fuck around with what pronouns they use. Let cis people fuck around with what gendered terms they apply to themselves. Every person deserves the right to explore their gender identity, even if they still identify as cis at the end of the day.
She/Them. Let’s fucking go.

happy mooninite panic day
I was there. I knew the guy arrested. I knew one of the people who called in a bomb scare (like... really.... REALLY?, still SMDH).
Raise a glass for Boston today.
Piece of advice for aspiring producers...
Just submitting an application to a major union (such as the DGA or IATSE) to be signatory on your show does not mean your show is represented by that union. All unions will respond to applications. If you don’t hear a response... something is very fucking wrong. Call that union before your show starts and find out the status of your application. The union needs to make sure your show is legit, the money is there, and their members don’t get screwed. They need to approve your application.
I can’t believe we have to state this, but here we fucking are...

IMOGEN POOTS A Country Called Home, 2015 dir. Anna Axster
WOW I was the 2nd AD on this movie. Filmed in Smithville, TX in 2014.
Where have I been?
It’s been a wild few years since I lost posted in earnest. Where do I even fucking begin?
First and foremost, I got on the DGA QL as a 1st AD in the third area. What does that mean? I turned in a bunch of days as a 1st AD from my tiny indie days during my current show’s pandemic shut down and got on the list in June 2020.
Since then I’ve been re-rated a bunch to additional 2nd AD for a major TV show. I never thought I’d end up ADing in episodic TV land, but life likes to throw curveballs.
That said, this show is ending here and while I’ll miss the family, the stability, the paycheck (hey I’m not constantly broke anymore!), I’m ready to sink my teeth back into some solid indie films as a 1st AD again. Since I’m QL and not a full DGA member just yet in the third area, I’m able to take on non-union work. Obviously I don’t want to stay just QL forever. I want to go full membership, but I will do that when I can get the work to maintain it. It’s hard right now and I’m going to keep my options open as this show leaves town.
I’ve learned a whole hell of a lot more over the past few years from running basecamp to dealing with set politics I didn’t even realize were a thing. I’m calmer and more organized, and yet there’s still so much that makes me think “What the fuck?”. I guess that’s just life, yeah?
This show ends in December. I’m taking a break from work for the holidays and then jumping back into the indie/commercial/whatever show wants me market next year. No more PAing for me, however. That chapter has closed for me and as I near 40, I’m grateful to move on from that.
I hope on my downtime to update this with some of the lessons I’ve learned over the years. Please feel free to ask me questions and I’ll do my best to answer them.
Oh yeah. I also got married. To a wonderful set electric. So that happened.
