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.
I wish twitter would let you write a little note when you mute an account so I can remember this one as the “person who thinks it’s elitist to not treat artists like trained monkeys”
This is why what Affleck & Damon have attempted to do with their company is so important
The way the system is currently set up artists not only have to starve to break in, they often don’t get to cash in their work becomes a success.
Don't really understand why critics, especially those in major cities who will have a press screening in a premium format, spent the morning fighting for Odyssey tickets
After the success of Backrooms, Hollywood will undoubtedly turn to weird internet culture for new movie ideas. The solution is obvious: It's time for a HOMESTAR RUNNER CINEMATIC UNIVERSE
Every actor instantly said yes to Christopher Nolan’s ‘THE ODYSSEY’ except than Robert Pattinson who asked to read the script.
“You want to read it? Everyone else just said yes,’ Nolan replied.

Jake Johnson reveals that Tom Cruise sends him a gingerbread house every year
“I started getting his legendary holiday cake. A few years back I admitted to him I had a diary issue… the following year he sent me a gingerbread house with my kids names on it. He does it ever year”
my favorite part of Pressure is that Brendan Fraser as Eisenhower spends the first half of the movie like, “we’re all gearing up for D-Day on Monday, June 5th,” or, “everyone’s ready to do D-Day this Monday, June 5th!” a minor spoiler for anybody who knows the date of D-Day
