It feels so good to fire a nightmare client...

[Will Clegg]

Just sayin'.

Life's too short to work for crazy people who don't want to pay for anything.

Life's too short to work for crazy people even if they're paying.

I'll keep this in mind next time I'm planning to hire you.

Shooting with you isn't work, though.
(nice save, huh?)

...working on a short about life...

If it's not work, I'll refrain from paying you for it, cool?

How does one go about firing a client?

 

[Will Clegg]

It's like quitting. Except you still have other jobs, just not with that dummy anymore.

I suppose "firing" isn't quite the right term, but it feels much more empowering, so I roll with it.

Firing is definitely the right term - and it does feel great when you do it.
Scary at first... but it's one of the perks of working for your self. As long as you have enough work you can pick who you work for.

Congrats on dumping the dead weight.

Hm... well then I'd just have to find some actual work to pay the bills... and that would be unfortunate.
Like I said, life is too short to work.

Wise man, that Luis.

You're fired.

I think 'firing' is exactly right.

Working with a client is a transactional sort of thing: each has something the other needs and they arrange a mutually satisfactory exchange. The client's role in writing a check does not make them superior to the producer's role in creating the work. The client can't put a check up on screen to promote their goals any more than the creator can deposit a DVD into their bank account.
