GOT IT!!! Project starts Monday!

My interview today at Playground Media Group went really, really well! Brought my reel and a hard copy of my resume which was perused on the spot. The post director was impressed with my "Book of Eli" and "Sex Drive" trailers, then passed everything on to the producer I'll be working with, whom I met.

I was told that I was on a short list of three people being considered for the project. Plus, after I left, it turns out the producer was very happy to learn that I cut featurettes for "Gossip Girl" Seasons 1 & 2. Turns out she considers those to be some of the best DVD featurettes and is definitely looking forward to working with me. Bonus! I felt pretty confident as I walked out the door that the gig would be mine. It wasn't until I got home that I saw the e-mail confirmation; they want me to start Monday at 10am.

YAY! THANK YOU, GOD!!!

So the project I'll be working on is a trailer for the upcoming Jennifer Aniston / Gerard Butler starer, "The Bounty Hunter". I'll be cutting this over the course of a two week period, allowing time for changes. I am really flying about this right now and pretty excited to start! Not only will I be working on a top studio trailer, but I'll also be showing my stuff to a new post house I've been trying to get into for about a year and a half. AND....they'll be paying me a bit more per day than my usual rate. Don't worry, I just kept my mouth shut during the interview. Who am I to dicker with a higher offer.
