Interview with Massachusetts "Jack of all trades"

1. Mr. S has done everything in the industry: producing, directing, acting and stunt work. Now a days, he usually works as an Assistant Director, breaking down scripts into schedules, scouting locations…

2. He began as a P.A. or “Go-for” working in commercials. He described his first job as an opportunity to watch and observe. He then began working as a Location Manager, which opened up the door for him to begin working on “Big Films”. His first job as an Assistant Director got him into the Director’s Guild. Mr. S has worked in both N.Y. and C.A.

3. You always figure it out! If there is no solution, then there must not be a problem to begin with. Basically, there is always a way around something or an alternative solution…sometimes, you end up coming up with something better!

4. Find another job! But if it is your passion, stick to it. The job is never easy and you have to make sacrifices. You must be flexible and open; be relentless and dedicated.
