I'm so excited! And I should probably not make a big deal out of this - I must admit I am even a little bit scared of spilling the news and spoiling everything - but I got a job offer. It's not permanent though, it's just going to be for a couple of weeks, but it is a huge opportunity for me. I will be working as a Still Photographer in a film (is that correct? I don't know how you're supposed to say that in English). I will be payed and the best thing is I can put that in my resumé! I lack of job experience and that is always something that makes me feel insecure when wanting to apply for jobs, so I never do it.
The sum is actually quite convenient for me because I might get payed up to 10K pesos, which is like 750~ (is not that much, I know but for me it is, believe me) and the minimum amount I will be payed will be 5K. It all depends on the amount of days they will spend on filming. The thing is, I'm an idiot; I already know how I will spend my money and I'm so very excited!
I hopefully will buy this baby; even if I get payed the minimum sum, when doing the pesos-dollar conversion, I get the exact amount I need to buy it. It is like a dream come true and I'm so scared because I'm afraid that something happens and everything gets ruined. It's a huge responsibility over my shoulders but I guess this is what it feels like having a job and I'm not really used to this feelings.
The script is very violent and I'll have to travel. In my country things are crazy and I'll have to go to one of the most violent cities here. Some shootings will be held at certain districts of the city that are known for high crime rates plus, some scenes will contain some gore (or a lot of blood for what I know) and raw language. I read the whole thing a couple of hours ago, just to know what kind of scenes I must focus on and imagine the whole thing in my head; I think that's giving me a little bit of advantage. It's not going to be a super production but a lot of money will be spent there, that's for sure.
Hope everything turns out well and if it does, in a couple of weeks, probably in a month, I might have the lens I've been wanting to buy for years.
Edit: I might get this as a present:
When did I become lucky? This is getting scary.
