I’m back after a month of film work. I’ve been pretty invisible online the past month partly due to long night shifts and my current lack of a smart phone.  The film set was great fun, hard work but fun and I’ve learnt a lot – there always seems to be so much to learn on every set I go on. I’m getting more confident with Script Supervising now although I don’t know if I’ll be able to freelance a living working on film sets just yet.

Currently I have no work on. I’ve made enough money this past month to survive July but I’m skint after that. I’m not too worried though there’s still 5 weeks left for me to make some work happen.  Getting a normal job at the moment might even be more difficult than freelancing. I think I’m going to sign up as self-employed in July (although I still need to read up about if this is the best idea). I’m just going to see what happens. That and I’m moving house next week (I’ve survived off University loans and pennies from a part time job the past year) this will be the first time I’m 100% responsible for paying all of my bills.

I’m sure I’ll find a way to make it all work out, 5 weeks to go before the money runs out…

I’ve just starting to get my body clock used to the hours now.
