Internship
Corner of the sky productions, owned by Dave Phillips, is a small production firm that sells scripts to major studios. They offered me a non-paying internship for two days a week, and I accepted. My duties include: reading scripts, answering phones, and running errands. Today I changed out the water filter in the community kitchen! I've hit the big time. I want you to listen to Peter Gabriels song, "Big Time," off his 1986 award winning album SO. Go download it. I'll wait.
Seriously though, CSP is a relaxing environment to work in. The boss and I hit it off right away. He told me about a huge event that he hosts annually at the sundance film festival called ChefDance. It takes the top ten chefs in the nation and sets up a makeshift restaurant in the center of Utah. The guest list is invitation only, so a lot of celebrities. He said today that I should come with him instead of volunteering through the sundance site. The only problem is that Sundance isn't until January and I doubt I can keep working for free two days a week. I guess I'll just get another temp job, but this time I'll make sure its not in the financial section of the company.
I'll know by tomorrow if I have a place to live. Pray for me.
Rule #5
Start building a contact list. Meet and connect with people who are interested in what you are interested in. Go to film festivals, work for free on sets, and get everyone's number and e-mail. Stay in touch! After a while you can always say, "I know a guy who can get that done."
