WATCH: Shit Craigslist Producers Say

Yeah, the whole "Shit ___ Poeple Say" thing is long gone, but I just came across this one about Craigslist producers and their funny demands.  If you're on Craigslist as much as I am, I'm sure you can relate to these.

While we're at it, let's just get it all out of our system:

Craigslist Makes Me Smile/Cry

From glorious Craigslist:

I'm looking for one lucky producer who has the means to prouduce a micro budget film that has 100 million dollar potential. I need someone who has experience in producing horor movies. I have written the script and own the rights to the screenplay. The concept for the movie is genius, and has been ran past several freinds and colleagues who all agree that the movie will be succesfull. Please if you are interested drop me a line with your experience, and express to me what kind of finicail backing you are bringing to the table. I've been in the movie business for years, started out as a PA, now I do freelance lighting and grip gigs, and camera operate. I taught myself how to screenwrite, and need to make this movie my bread and butter; the one that puts millions in the bank so money is like air. Thanks for reading this. You can respond to me via email, or call me @ (206)***-****.

• Compensation: you will get rich

Spelling/Grammar errors aside, I love his passion for stories.  You can tell right away he means business with lines such as, "need to make this movie my bread and butter; the one that pus millions in the bank so money is like air."
I'm also thrilled to know that he owns the rights to his own screenplay.  That should help push things through development, that and his "genius" concept.

Robby T, you had me at "prouduce".

Finding Production Work

Where am I finding production jobs?  What sources have resulted in "work", regardless of whether the compensation is monetary payment or merely credit/meals?  I'll keep you posted.

Keep in mind that this doesn't at all reflect upon how thoroughly (or lazily) I'm utilizing my resources.  I might be responding to every Mandy.com post but never cold-calling, for example.

"My God, what an amazing resume!  You must be proud!"

The score as of 9.22.2012 -- [How I found the job]:  [unpaid jobs / paid jobs]

Through a Friend:  01 / 00
Mandy.com:  01 / 00

And in order, like a logbook:

Mandy.com - Unpaid
Through a friend - Unpaid

INTERESTING STUFF!  Where have you found the most success, especially early on?
