Yup, just had a client cancel sending anyone to the shoot. Guess there’s an upside to everything!

Clients only wanting a local director and crew, who don’t travel in any way, shape or form, while simultaneously limiting the shoot location based on tax rebates and/or product issues, leading to some odd requests, like “We need an A-list director who’s a specialist in tilt-shift photography and babies and has pharma experience, in Olathe, Kansas.”

Oddly specific location, El Prez. Know a good tech company in Olathe? 🤔

It wasn’t but then someone vaccinated just got covid so the rules are changing.

After a year of postponing a production overseas, client decided to get it done finally this month.
The only condition was for the agency to be there, while they (client) remained remote.


Surprise surprise….delta, and this country where the production is taking place, has such red numbers not even the agency is probably allowed to travel anymore.

We will still shoot, TBD fully remote or “hybrid”.
What a time to be alive.

YES, but the show must go on.

Going on a shoot irl next week 😬😬

I’m curious if they’ll start bringing back rapid Covid tests on shoot days

Interesting so it may come back for us. I’ve had to learn to tell clients last year if they want a shoot they have to cover the cost of Covid tests, PPE and a “medic” who ensures social distancing, etc. 👀

Hey folks - I have an inquiry on my credit for a gym membership I “failed to cancel”. I had previously left this gym as it closed during pandemic, and shifted to a new location. In doing so, I informed the gym I would be leaving. However, I recently checked my credit and saw that my membership had not been cancelled and had been sent to collections (prompting an inquiry and dropping my score).

Has anyone experienced this, and is aware of next steps to take here?

Reorgs are just a part of the corporate world. If you haven’t been a part of one in your career yet, then you most likely haven’t been in the corporate workforce for very long. If you have been a part of a reorg, however, how do you personally approach it? There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward? Or do you lay low and let what ever happens be/hope for the best?
