With remote finishing sessions done virtually now, I miss the lunch menus. Couldn’t the production house send grub hub or such!?

The production houses are too busy trying to do all the free work you want from them…and wondering why you never come to them with actual paying work

I was just commenting to a younger coworker that it’s like the end of Goodfellas….
….Can't even get decent food.
After I got here I ordered
spaghetti with marinara sauce...
and I got egg noodles with ketchup.
I'm an average nobody.
I get to live the rest of
my life like a schnook.

Not since the cost consultants demanded they remove all meal costs, and insisted on lowering the production house’s markup fee on top of that.

Those days are over.

If you want anything remotely like that these days, allow a few of the director’s reps from production companies into your life. They’re good people. Especially the younger ones. Yes, they’re salesmen (and women), but they’re humans and they’re part of the industry (what’s left of it). Talk to them, get to know them. Tell them about your projects and let them send you directors that could work for those projects. They’ll happily wine and dine you and treat you to other things too if you create a genuine relationship with them. And get their directors bidding on a decent project once in a while, don’t take advantage.
