| 00:00 - 00:04 | I meet this POC director for a coffee and she's like |
| 00:04 - 00:07 | Olan, I love your recent work. Your the king of black skin |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | I've got this short I want to do with you. Some NTS, BFI |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | Random something. I'm like cool sign me up, I'm hungry to go, then I'm told |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | I've got to interview... |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | Interview! |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | Interview!! |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | She only got one video on her Vimeo with 32 views |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | Interview!! |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | Her producer already asking me if I own a camera and lights, that I can bring in on the project |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | Cuz you know POC really means PAF. Poor As Fuck |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | So I'm like sure let's make it work |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | So I tell them email my agent, Chris |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | Chris asks the rate |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | There's not even budget for my coffee on set |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | Or gaffer tape for my monitor |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | Interview!! |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | These POC directors are jokers |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | Then they ask Chris if I'm free for 5 days |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | 5 days of slavery, no coffee, my kit and you still want to interview |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | I gotta bring all the kit in myself |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | travel to 16 locations |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | But the director gets back in touch like |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | Olan....your agent hasn't gotten back to us on those dates |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | Can you push this through with him |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | By the way, do you gaffer too ? |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | We see you put up lights alot |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | And your very tall |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | I tell Chris, sack them off, shits not even reelable |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | Gaffer! |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | Put up lights |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | lights |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | So then the other DPs laugh them off |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | And the director tells me I'm putting the project in jeopardy |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | We need you and we starting in two days, your agent has ghosted |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | He blanked them? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Blanked them! |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | Even Chris knows theres no return from that level of purgatory |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | So I ask them if they've got recce's organised |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | She's said they did and organised three for tomorrow |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | So you went down to the recce |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | I felt bad, so we went down to look at the main location |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | You know, you never wana see a creative on their face and stuff |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | So we saw this bedroom that was mean to be a US style 1940s decor |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | And the room was bare and white as fuck |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | o carpet, no windows, all texture extinct |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | I said this a cool spot, stepped out and blocked her on Insta |
