Now, let me build a senario for you guys, based on true story of my friend
how to do workaround with this as a film maker?
When you are the only employee in a media company, and your boss is a guy who has no film/media related knowledge whatsoever (he is a economics grad).
He goes out and shoot videos with you, he wants to be the main Cinematographer and you, as a Film grad who knows lots of film theories with some shooting techniques, cant even make the right decisions, you have to always listen to him and do whatever he says. eventhough you know its a false decision.
as he slowly learning from the mistakes he made, but he just never listens to you.
You, as a non-citizen employee with a working visa, graduated for 1.5 years without a professional portfolio (of course ! everything youve made after graduation was a collaboration with this kind of boss) cant even find another proper full time job. you have to stick with this guy until your immigration process is finished 2 years later.
your pay, of course, minimum. 25k a year. constantly bullied by families for the low income you get.
Regardless of the pay, you cant even learn anything from this place, youtube, vimeo, dvxuser, are your only friends.
never done any projects that has a budget higher than $4 bucks.
cant rely on craiglist for jobs as your boss is posting ads there as well. Youve mistakenly sent a resume to his inbox through craiglist one time.
But the good thing is, you have a complete camera set (Canon C + primes + tripod + monopod + slider), no lights, no shotguns, no flags, no friends.
How do you work around with this ?
