job number 234
Job number 234 was film producer. Or film production manager. Or driver/ cook/ agony aunt/ runner/ financial officer/ co-ordinator and when I was lucky, writer.
There was one quality which I brought to this role which was invaluable. This quality was frugality. The art of making £5 into £50. The thing about money is that when you're not short of it, you don't realise how far it can go. It's easy to forget that money is just a resource, like rainwater. Sometimes it comes in bucketfuls and sometimes it seems like it will never come.
On the film, it was obvious it was an expendable resource, which, if not treated with due respect, would run out. In which case we would have had to go native, hunt bats and rustle cows, gather nuts in May.
