          Wednesday August 29,2018

       It all started like a normal morning breakfast, morning coffee and getting started my task for the day.

      I try to have my Facebook running in the background due messages I get form clients.On this day I saw this message at 9:52am from a Facebook group called "All Castings Toronto. Actors, Models or "background performance". and NEED A PRODUCTION ASSISTANT / CREW / ACTORS - ONTARIO (PAID ONLY)" 

 They were looking for assistant to help the camera crew carry around the cases from various sets for the day. I responded and very quickly got a message to reach out to camera man to settle on where to meet.

          So the journey began to be on 50th production in 4 years! 

      I met the director Kalli Paakspuu infront of the Royal Conservatory of Music and shortly thereafter the Cameraman James Crow, sound guy Marcus. H and the rest of the crew.
