It felt really good to be out and about, wheeling and dealing like a producer should.

Most times, I have a producer to weave all the loose bits of preproduction together, but when I take on a direct client, these tasks fall on me. My hat’s off to producers who can throw together a production two days after job notification and confirmation, both of which occuring on the same day! It takes a special breed to be producers; I am definitely not one of them.

There is a shortage of freelance crew in the market at the moment, and I almost had to push back the shoot by two days. Almost.

It was nice to have heard so many familiar voices in the span of one day. Felt like I’d been away for a long time.
