I'm not in film/tv but that's where my calling is and I'm trying to get there.
I DID grow up in theater and was a professional actor for many years, so I can completely relate to what you're talking about. I was fine until I did Cats in 2003, 10am to 10pm rehearsals pure dancing, and then 2 hours straight dancing on stage once we opened running shows 6-8 times a week. I ended up in the hospital halfway through the run and after that I took things much more carefully. I think that's what eventually made me walk away, I realized I couldn't do that the rest of my life and my heart was in movies anyway. I'm still not sure how I'm going to make it work because I KNOW movies will be hardly any different (aside from much less dancing [sadly]
) but I just have to leave that up to God.
Since i've not been in the movies industry yet this is just speculation, but I would try starting for smaller stations and such where you can have easier hours, fill up your resume and then step into a bigger project without having to start at the bottom there (though that's hard to do since most theaters/studios I've seen have kind of a seniority deal going on).
PLEASE let me know how things work out for you, not only because I really hope you make it but because I too want to get into the industry.
You are in my prayers.

I've been in broadcast-quality film and video production for over 15 years, but I'm an editor. I wasn't diagnosed with CF until I was 29, so I was okay for all of my "paying my dues" years, but I did work long hours while I was. One year I worked for an advertising agency and it wasn't uncommon for me to work 24 hours straight, go home and sleep for 8 hours, then come back and do it again several days in a row.<br>
<br>
More appropriate to this thread is what happened once I was diagnosed with CF. By that point I was freelance, which meant sometimes I worked 15-20 hours a week, sometimes 60+. Basically when you are freelance you don't turn down any work no matter how gruelling. I was a co-owner of a small production house in Oklahoma City, doing pretty well, but health insurance was killing us. There were only 2 of us on our insurance and we paid over $1000 a month and they rated us up every chance they got. My health was going steadily downhill.<br>
<br>
I went to a CF Education day at our clinic and an insurance guy said if you have CF you need to go to work for a big company so that the healthy people offset your illness. Soon after that I picked up a new client which just so happened to be a large retail company with a very nice in-house film and video production department. This department produces several half-hour national TV shows and produces its own national advertising. Long story short, now I work for them. I sometimes have 12-hour days but they are definitely the exception, not the rule. Usually it is a pretty strict 8am to 5pm gig. I go to the doc once a month at least and I try to make up the time on the weekend when I can. Of course, there is stress with any job, but I really enjoy knowing when and how much my next pay check will be, and although the insurance isn't the world's best, it is definitely better than I could afford on my own.<br>
<br>

Thank you, guys. I really didn't expect to get any responses.
MrWilliam, I didn't get fired. They asked me in the interview, "How is your health? Do you have any problems?" So I told them. I got the job but I was told that they were still concerned about my condition and that I was being hired on a '3week trial basis'. If I couldn't physically handle the job, I would be let go with no-hard-feelings and I would be replaced.
But I was REALLY GOOD at my job and my boss did not want to let me go. He tried to keep me on as part-time, but our filming schedule NEEDED someone there full-time. So he would call me in to work whenever he could maneuver it. It was very nice.
Lance2020x, I can't even imagine being a dancer...period. I can hardly do the Macarena, let alone perform in CATS? Wow. Then add in CF. You're amazing. I'm sorta trying to act too. But I worry about (if I get cast in something) and I have to kiss someone on screen; what if the other actor is sick? I always hear actors being interviewed:
"What was it like to film that intense make-out scene?
Oh, it was horrible. I was sick with the flu and throwing-up between takes."
EWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I don't stay in the same room with someone who is sick, let alone make-out! UGHHHHH!
I wonder if you can get a clause put in your contract, hmmm?
I've thought about local news, but you have start at the very bottom (obviously). and that means morning news, which means going to work at 3 or 4 in the morning, which means having to wake-up 2 hours before that to do all my treatments. ick.
I've been looking at local theater companies and seeing if they need wardrobe/prop people, maybe their hours are better?
Well, we'll see.
Thanks so much you guys & good luck to everyone <img src="">
MrWilliam, I didn't get fired. They asked me in the interview, "How is your health? Do you have any problems?" So I told them. I got the job but I was told that they were still concerned about my condition and that I was being hired on a '3week trial basis'. If I couldn't physically handle the job, I would be let go with no-hard-feelings and I would be replaced.
But I was REALLY GOOD at my job and my boss did not want to let me go. He tried to keep me on as part-time, but our filming schedule NEEDED someone there full-time. So he would call me in to work whenever he could maneuver it. It was very nice.
Lance2020x, I can't even imagine being a dancer...period. I can hardly do the Macarena, let alone perform in CATS? Wow. Then add in CF. You're amazing. I'm sorta trying to act too. But I worry about (if I get cast in something) and I have to kiss someone on screen; what if the other actor is sick? I always hear actors being interviewed:
"What was it like to film that intense make-out scene?
Oh, it was horrible. I was sick with the flu and throwing-up between takes."
