@BritIndianVoice You are more than welcome to carry whatever you want so long as it follows the laws around knives you can carry in public with the religious exemption removed.
If you are an actor who gets a part in a film or TV or theatre, but it's hard work, and you need laser focus to make it your top priority, but your friends tell you not to do it, GET NEW FRIENDS!
Winners work their butts off, losers goof off.
The next producers and investors should let her share in the losses as well. If the movie loses 80% of its budget, she has to return 80% of her salary.
@kingkapoor72 It doesn't need a specific legal limit - we already have laws specifying knives that can be carried in public. Follow that law. All that needs changing is the religious exemption wording.
@RottingMemory Never understood people who won't go to the movies alone - like you're going to sit in the dark in silence for 2hrs. What could a +1 possibly add to the situation.
@wompstompfilms But not everyone took on the financial risk? They got paid the amount agreed. Now they whinge when the people who took on the risk got paid.
The Art Director of Obsession is speaking out against the filmmakers because she wants more money. 🙄
This post is a cautionary tale of how victimhood mentality is poison.
She was paid $6700 (after taxes!) for a month of work. That’s about double the median salary of most Americans. Millions of people would kill to work for minimum wage (or even nothing) to get to work on a project like this. She took no financial risk on it if it wasn’t successful. But because it is successful, she’s backstabbing all her colleagues for a paycheck.
The very nature of low budget independent filmmaking is working long hours, wearing many hats, and helping each other out. You do it because it’s what you love. But this is the entitlement culture we live in: Someone thinking that just because they showed up and did their job for the agreed upon salary, they’re entitled to the sun, the moon, and the stars, simply because the work was demanding. Welcome to independent filmmaking! 🤦🏻♂️
You would think somebody would view this experience as the win of the century! You went from being a nobody to being the Art Director of the biggest movie of the year! That should open countless doors for you. And when it doesn’t, she’ll claim “it’s because I’m a woman… it’s because I’m a minority… it’s because I spoke up…” No, it’s because of your horrible attitude!
Don’t be like this chick, no matter how attractive people make grievance culture seem.
I wouldn’t hire somebody like this if there were a gun to my head!
