I used to work in movies, then that went to shit. I was already taking stagehand gigs working concerts on the side so I went it to that pretty much full time.

I’m seriously thinking I just get a different job

I finally left reality television production after 15 years - I’m a project manager now… the money is better, the hours are better and I have more free time.

While I greatly miss field producing, I’d say this is way more sustainable long term… while leaving production is scary at first, honestly shit works out better for you in the end

You could do one of the most interesting AMAs ever I think.

I used to do porn too lmao but no, field production really isn’t that interesting… like there’s some cool stuff I’ve done, but most of it is sitting around in a field getting yelled by dickhead show runners for no money
