The Obsession art director post. Man, what a choice.
One year total experience. Only credit pre-Obsession is a single short film. Sign on to a low budget indie. Agree to rate. Movie explodes. You're suddenly the Art Director fo the most talked about film of the year.
If this ever happens to you, let me give one piece of advice. Embrace it. Use the credit to fight off offers, get a BTL agent, turn those difficult three weeks into an incredible career.
Do NOT cut every connection you have to the filmmakers, put out tweets about how you wish you'd shut down their production, and complain about the rate you agreed to (which isn't even like $100 or some student film sketchiness).
Do you know how many indies I have done as an actor for $240/day? A fucking lot. Every single time I know what I'm getting into and I hope to god it turns out well and leads to another opportunity. I cannot even imagine getting cast in Obsession and then putting out a career ruining post about it instead of trying to leverage it into more work.
For L.A. Material, I went deep to find answers on one of the city's greatest mysteries and memes: the frequently broken escalator at the AMC Burbank 16

i’m saying this to myself as much as i’m saying to you. the only way out of this is to create. make that fucking movie. make that art. become the absolute best at it. you have stories that people want to see. the true start of the next indie golden age. go make something.
The two biggest auditions I've had (lead in a new CBS show and lead in a big studio horror film) have both stemmed directly from a 5 minute short film we made for $50 in 2 hours. Actor pals, go make your thing. You never know who will see it.
Frederick. Charles. Freeman. “Mr. World Series”. Views from the @Dodgers Audio Network / @AM570LASports as Freddie ended the Game 3 marathon in the 18th inning with his second walk-off home run in as many Fall Classics. #ITFDB#WorldSeries
A close friend of mine is facing the unimaginable. Two months after their daughter was born, his wife was diagnosed with brain cancer. Please, if you can spare a coffee (or even better, much more) consider donating. https://t.co/teDjDC5fg8
3K for Kershaw: views from the @SportsNetLA booth w/ @OrelHershiser as @ClaytonKersh22 joined the 3,000 strikeout club. Only the third pitcher ever to do it all for one team, and he did it at HOME. A capstone to a Hall of Fame career (which ain’t over yet!). Congrats, Kersh!
