14 hours

I’m finally done working the long 14 hour days.  Yes, 14.  Filming does not make for 9-5 jobs.  We are in a constant race against the clock to film everything on schedule.  A typical day starts at 6:00am and wraps by 8:00pm.  And the crew, the guys busting their ass to make it all happen, work even longer hours because they have to wrap up all their equipment when filming for the day is done.  Actors, Directors and Producers are the lucky ones who can just walk away after the last second of filming ends.

You know I never work and tell, but I will say that this project involved Sex and the City, a crazy woman and an arrest.  Maybe from that you’ll be able to guess which film I’m talking about when it’s finally released. Not.

The best part of working the long hours, is that there’s time to get to know some really great people.  (Of course there’s always a few you could do without.)

And the worst part, at least for me right now, is having to leave in the morning before Max wakes up and not getting home until he’s already in bed.
