When I have worked on more indie films, I had to one the one to pay for all the props with my own money and they would reimburse me afterwards- sometimes the total amount doesn’t add up and I seem to be losing money! How do you approach this situation?

How does the reimbursement work? Make sure to keep all the receipts and maintain clear communication throughout the whole thing. Work with them on why it’s not adding up. Not ok for them to expect you to pay out of your pocket and then not even fully reimburse you.

Exactly- that’s the main struggle is keeping the communication flowing!

I guess we're talking really really DIY films? I haven't ever encountered this because Ive always been on sets that have some kind of budget. I would keep all receipts and make official invoices so there's no confusion

Yes I need to keep them to avoid any confusion!

I accepted a $115K base salary, 13% bonus, 10k sign on bonus (scientist supervisor) job and two weeks later, got a $135K base, 17% bonus, and 15K sign on bonus (Senior scientist role) offer from another company. Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏

NFT peeps, get a Doodle while you still can. Bought mine for 1.5 ETH last week. Now at 3.9 floor. Other collections that I think have a lot of potential: Lil Baby Ape Club, Cosmic Labs ducks, Party Apes, and Stoner Cats. Cool Cats are pricey. Little Alien Club is super duper cheap but a total Hail Mary gamble.
