Crewing Up for Circle of Karma

The SVA thesis film production, which I wrote the short script, which I'm running the production as the AD, and editing later, is in the final stretch as I and my director interviewed a number of crew last Friday. It was weird to sit on the other side of table, meeting eager members to participate in this production, although we are paying them little. To backtrack a little, I was in a position to hire an audio engineer for a hip hop documentary two weeks ago, and now I'm in the position to hire production crews. It's great learning experience to review people's resumes as well their cover letters, and interview them. My director has a long history of colorful jobs and experiences in the production fields, but many of members out-experienced me. But, that's good as we need all the experience and knowledge these people can bring to this production, compliment my lack of production skills as AD. It's my first AD gig, after all. :-) It's another chance for me run a production crew and team for my future production efforts. This shall be fun.

As my director like to claim, good Karma brought many great people to this production to succeed. And I believe there's good Karma on this production that will lead to successful and entertaining short film. You'll know soon enough from this blog in coming months. Stay tuned. (And pray for me and for this production.)
