Rock Opera, Act One -- Short Film

A few weeks ago, I landed a PA gig on a short film, a musical entitled Rock Opera (I worked on the first act ,with secondary crews coming in later). It was my first time on a musical set, and it was quite the experience.  For this gig, I spent much of my time on the road, picking up props and equipment necessary for the shoot. When I was not out and about, I primarily assisted the art department in finishing the elaborate set design and helping out wherever I could.  

I was also in charge of food pick-ups and organizing craft service on set, a job which I've grown very accustomed to from many of my past experiences with the role. It was really nice to be able to shoot in a studio for once, as we had the creature comforts of a working fridge and ample space to lay out meals and snacks.

I really enjoyed contributing my skills to such an ambitious product, and I am proud of what the crew and I accomplished in such a short time. I also really appreciated being able to work with some of my film friends again, whom I previously worked with on Tongue Tied, and would love to work with this crew again in the future.
