Nobody talks about this enough: one of the most important hires on a low-budget film is the first AD.
A great 1st AD keeps the day moving, shields the director from chaos, manages the energy of 30 people at 6 AM, and makes sure you go home with the shots you needed.
Hire the best one you can afford. Everything else falls into place.
Everyone needs to be on point and prepared for their piece. The First AD is the orchestrator.
“The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again.” - Toni Morrison
@descendent__@SebastianAvenue Literally my only beef with it when it premiered was that it was they missed a prime opportunity to show off their home turf. They made up for it with Grindin'.
@meisme562 @TracyOhana4ever@OsheaJacksonJr Rage is from VA. Kurupt is from Philly. Xzibit is from Detroit... So the 'LA Rapper' criteria they used for this list is inconsistent at best.
Just received word that Mr. CIAA, Abraham Mitchell, has passed away at the age of 95!
If you attended a CIAA Tournament, you know who Mr. Mitchell. He would walk around the arenas, wearing custom made suits in the colors of all the schools in the conference!
Maybe the @CIAAForLife will set up a Shrine, with his many suits, for fans to see at future CIAA Tournaments!
