As a director how to you celebrate finishing a production?

[john threat]

Do you have a great wrap party where you walk in like a conquering hero? Do you wrap your head in shame under your partners arm and curl up in fetal position? Do you put your head in the toilet? Do you wear all white and toast stainless steel martini glasses into the air? Do you hunker down aspergers style narrowly focused right onto the next project? the one you just finish is lame and old news!

What do you do?

Wow ! You guys are big time! I dont direct for money, i direct for art because i have stories to tell. So i dont really worry about the invoice really. Cant take money with yah!

Sorry, my son has that same mentality which I just don't understand. He seems to think earning a living doing something you enjoy is selling out, and its all about the art. I sometimes remind him that words like... Nice film, or cool song, or the pat on the back don't put food on the table, and invoices do! Nothing wrong with creating art, but why be a starving artist when you can drive a Ferrari.

+100 write an invoice!

LMAO! :happy:
Me too.... then I try to get the other projects done too....and if there's time, I get to work on my personal projects.

I seriously cant even fathom how a Ferrari is a measure of success in life. I know there are those that do - and certainly you can fool people out of money and sex by driving one. Pretty sure it isnt the measure of success in film or life.

This thread started out very poorly and is going nowhere constructive, so I'm closing it.
