POSITION: Boom Operator/Actor

A friend of mine was making a low budget feature film and asked me to help out. It was a nice change from the larger budget union shoots I am used to where everybody has their specific job duties. On this production, everybody helped out with everything in order to make it. The actors helped haul gear, crafty made lunch, etc. I was the Boom Operator and even jumped in as an actor in one scene. Nothing big, but I was a bouncer in a scene at a nightclub where I got to drag a drunken patron out of the establishment when he starts arguing with one of the actors. The cast was made up of a lot of comedians and there was a lot of improvisation involved. There was a lot of laughter and good times on set.
