First Gigs

Last week, I shot some footage for a TV commercial for a local real estate company. It was my first paid gig in California, and it was fairly uneventful. No feedback yet on the footage, but I hope they like it!

I've also picked up my first unpaid (but exciting) feature film job. SY, a Brandeis alum I had met with a few weeks ago, pulled me in on a feature he's working on. At the first few meetings, I insisted on remaining without an official title. I figured, the best way to get to know the project was to start out as a general assistant, and to have them throw whatever work they needed to throw at me. Yesterday, I was given an official title: Production Manager! Not bad for my first at-bat out here.

Of course, now the real fun begins -- living up to the role!

  1. Hi Arnon,
    I'm giving at talk at the Baltimore Board of rabbis about innovations in Jewish education and using your film workshop that you used at Cardin in Interim Week 2010 as the prime example.

    Are you still around the Baltimore area?
    If so, I will be giving the talk at Beth El on Tuesday, 10/25 at 8:30.

    Hag samaekh,
    Rebecca (researcher from Interim Week @ Cardin).
