It's been a busy few weeks for me, which is abnormal, mostly involving acting and its related commitments.
Last week, on Tuesday and Wednesday I was an extra on a commercial shoot for Sun dishwasher soap - I worked 12 and 13 hours respectively, those two days. I've decided that any time I work on film stuff I will always bring my laptop with me, since I'll inevitably have a lot of downtime and thus time to work on my business.
Then on Sunday, I got paid quite a bit of money (around $1000) to sit around for some 12 hours, mostly. The money was intended as a buyout on my voice and face, but they decided that my accent wasn't British enough... Why they chose me in the first place knowing full well I'm American is a different question.
And thus my voice will not be used and I acted for all of 1 hour total, probably. But that had me stick around in case I was needed again. But I wasn't.
Thankfully, I brought along my Czech homework and my business work and other distractions. I ended up talking with the producers quite a bit - mostly about world affairs and not really about the production.
I'm moving flats again at the turn of the month - I would be prone to say finally, but I was never terribly aggressive in locating a new place and this one came about only because a friend of mine is moving in with her boyfriend, and I'm thus going to be taking her room.
I'll be in the States from the 14th of Dec through until the 3rd of January. The first two weeks, roughly, will be in Indiana and the last week in Minnesota. Book your Iain time now!
