AWSOME, are you from bc, I live in abbotsford, about 45 min south east of vancouver.

Yup, I live in Ladner, just outside of Richmond.

I saw their posting for script readers. It will be a good opportunity for the lucky recipient. It's a great stepping stone to better things. Get's your name in there and as long as you work hard and make sure you don't recommend terrible scripts, it will give you a good name.

I'm also talking with them about future work there (not a reader), so we'll see how it goes.

cool , I know where ladner is, I hope all goes well for you, and who knows, maybe I might see ya there sometime if all goes well

Cool man!!!!  Good luck!!

Thanks Greg, I need all the luck I can get

Good luck mate. If you get nervous when meeting people for the first time, may I suggest not drinking too much caffeine before the interview, it can make you jittery; remember that episode of Seinfeld when Kramer had too much?

Hey it was interesting to hear you Canadians talk about Abbotsford and Richmond, they're the names of two suburbs here in Victoria.

Anyway best of luck.  

Thanks Christopher, I usually drink aboyt 4 litres of coke a day, but I ain't gonna have none till my interview is over, I am however now smoking like 2 packs a day, But I'm not gonna smoke before my interview so I don't stink.

that's cool about abbotsford and richmond being in victoria (Victoria is also the capital of bc..LoL), there is also an abbotsford in Wisconson.

anyways, thank you very much for your advice.

Peace

2 Tips

1.  Put a few napkins in your pocket...have your right hand in there as you approach this guy for the first time, before you shake hands give the napkins a squeeze to dry off your hand.  

2.  Learn from my mistakes, check your fly

Last bit:  do a little research on this guy so you know what he does, what he's into.  Come up with talking points, or questions that when he answers will spur conversation that will allow you to work in how you would be good at this job.

EX:  How did you get your start/schooling on film?
-the answer to this question would allow you to work in just about anything re: your script reading, script writing, knowledge etc.

I'd write down about 10 questions, you'll probably use 5 but you don't want to force the questions, they should flow with the conversation.

Thanks for the tips jaykur22, the napkin thing sounds like a good idea, and I 'm always checkin my fly, There was an incident at a dance in 9th grade involving my unziped pants, and well, I'm sure you can guess who made a special appearance that night.  I have read a little about the director I'm going to meet, I'm gonna rent his films as well.  I'm gonna write some questions down tonight and start memorizing them.

thanks again for your help

Just wanna wish you luck on your interview, and keep drinking those cokes!

Thanks Ghost, and I ain't having any coke before the interview, I'd be off the wall and they'd probably think I'm some sort of psycho, or druggie....lol, anyways thanks again.

Tomorrow's the big day.  My stomach is in knots, it kinda feels like when you lose your virginity, terrified and excited at the same time

I hate that feeling so much.

Well I'm off to Vancouver.  I'll let you all know how it went when I get back.  Thanks again for all your encouraging words.

I got the job
