You have been given an opportunity to work on a film, which position do you take?


Any position at all: lead actor, supporting actress, cinematographer, catering.

I'd be tempted to write, but I think ultimately I would choose directing.

Electric or grip? I did a lot of grip when I was in college.

reply

Electrical, my ambition is to one day be Gaffer, and I just hope we aren't working with Christian Bale he's awful rude!

reply

But at least we know we would have made it if we got yelled at by him.

reply

Is that worth getting your fucking ass kicked by Batman? πŸ€”

reply

It is if I have Michael Keaton beside me.

Casually walks into shot seemingly unaware that you’re trying to shoot.

Lol

I would like location scouting, set-building or prop work

Sounds like a sudden influx of movies being filmed in Yonkers.

reply

Yes, it's been going on for years and it's very cool
Kevin Bacon filmed parts of a movie on my old block

reply

That makes you part of the six degrees!

reply

I suppose it does but the movie was Loverboy (05) so nobody sat through the whole thingπŸ˜„

reply

I'll be ambitious and take the writer/actor/director/producer role, plus assistant editor.

Universal Pictures Presents: a Fred Burroughs production. From a screenplay by Fred Burroughs of a Fred Burroughs film. Robert De Niro in Fred Burroughs' "Fred Burroughs: A Fred Burroughs Story."

reply

Why De Niro? It stars Fred Burroughs.

reply

I thought it would be better if Fred Burroughs wasn't playing himself.

reply

Fred Burroughs playing Bobby DeNiro playing Fred Burroughs

reply

Writer, on the previso that the cast and director do not ab lib or rewrite on the fly. That is an insult to my art.

reply

Permission granted.

Director

I like telling people what to do too.

Director, so I could yell "Cut!"

😎

reply

But if you're editor you could cut anything you wanted.

reply


True, but not as much fun as yelling Cut!

reply

The guy that does the money shot.

reply

When he said position instead of job, I figured he was talking about porn films too.

reply

Well, I did say you get the opportunity to work on a film. I never specified which kind of film. Points for deception while staying within the rules.

reply

He probably meant the B-unit cameraman in a heist movie who shot the money props close-ups.
