The sacrifices that I am willing to make for my career is very open. I’m not going to say that I would do anything for my career, like go as far as killing someone for example, but if I were to get a job offer that would involve me having to move to a different city (all expenses paid of course) then yes, that is a sacrifice that I would definitely make in order to have my career take off. Course there are sacrifices that I would also make towards my career which would involve me working on a project for free. Say for instance an internship job to where it is unpaid. If it is for a low budget film or something like that, then I would definitely take it because it would be a great way for me to network myself into the industry. But after the first time working with them not getting paid and then they would call me again wanting me to work for them again, unpaid, I’m afraid that I would probably have to say no only for the fact that they have seen the work that I am capable of and they still would think of me as free labor. After working with them on a previous film, 12 to 15 hours on a set here and there, unpaid and then their going to call me up to do the same thing, I’m sorry but in a situation like that I would have to say that I would stick to my guns and tell them no because I would work for them once for free, but not a second time, I mean if I would continue to work for free then I think that would build a bum reputation for me as a film maker.
