New Years Blues.
So what do I do now?
I am not working.
I have shot my latest short film which is waiting to be edited.
I am having to have the animation re-done on the test commercial I shot recently.
There *might* be a couple of low budget music videos lurking around the corner... but nothing concrete.
If I want to tout myself as a commercials director I am going to need to be able to demonstrate real talent and ability - my showreel (when it's fucking done) will not do this as well as is neccessary... I need more work....to keep on struggling - onwards and upwards... the reality of what I am trying to acheive is daunting....
But what do I do for money?
What DO I do for money?
But I want to make more films... always... I crave good ideas, good scripts, fiction, facts, pictures, words - images, emotions....
But a good short film will need money - there are some financing options available... but the UK is a barren wasteland....
Fuck it.
I'm having a bad day.

Yeah, I'm having a bad week too. Quite bad actually. I feel like I am going to drown in boredom and paperwork.
At least you're (in theory) doing something you love.
and now I'm having a crappy song in my head ("cuz you had a bad day tatat tatat aa...")
try writing your memoirs...to include on your DVD when you'll be more esteemed than michel gondry and spike jonze combined.
Oh god.. please tell me when you find out what u are gonna do for money!
I am in the same boat now, and I'm going crazy!!
leeloreyas idea is good, you could also get a job in hospitallity or something... work all the time for a couple of weeks and ud be more than a couple of thousand pounds richer?!
utopia - bad days are only bad days.
leeloreya - memoirs - give me a few years before I write those.
tilda - hmmmm. Hospitality - not sure what you mean... not sure if I WANT to know what you mean.
