I stopped working on it because the only thing that would come out of working on the film and driving back at 3am from Willie’s ranch 30 minutes outside of Austin would be me hitting a deer. I was helping with set design and holding the boom pole. I got yelled at once for calling CUT on one of the scenes where the audio was blown. I later learned that only the director or the sound person can make that call. I heard rumors of contracts on the set locking people into working the duration of the film but I never saw one. It wasn’t said out loud, but through hand motions, rubbing the thumb against the index and middle finger, and not by the director, that IMDB credits could be had… for a price. To me, it made sense for the actors to continue working because they were sharpening their acting reels. They were playing characters in a genre film, were with friends and looked like they were working hard and having fun too. I feared for the crew. I attended this screening before which the director said something about not knowing if people were still “mad at him”. After the screening, we were encouraged to fill out comment cards. I did so and suggested reaching out to crew. I would like to help gather the credits for this film. Not so much as to request deferred payment, none was ever offered, but just recognition as having been a part of the crew. I didn’t pay for nor wrangle the Sony HVR-Z1U HDV cameras, audio gear or lights used on set. I didn’t invest time in writing or editing the film. I didn’t pay for the edit system. I didn’t finish the film. Letting the film sit for years before screening it is the perfect way for everyone to forget what they were mad about, oh, but I just remembered one thing, getting their name in the credits.
