RE: Hours of a (television/film/media) Crew Member

in #film7 years ago

@pocketchange your statement about "hours not killing you" made me reflect how many crew folks I've lost in the last few years. In the short term you are so right it's no harm no foul but most of these folks have literally worked themselves to death (both union and non union). The hours, short turnaround (even on union gigs), wear and tear.... I really think you and @ekpickle are both right. Love what you do but not so much it destroys you. There has to be a better way. It's fantastic that you are posting and bringing another informed side to this post. Thank you.
