In the Title

On Monday I went to collect my delegates pass from, the delegates centre at the NFT/BFI. At the end of a large room there was a desk. Above the desk was three signs, INDUSTRY, PRESS and FILMMAKERS. I went to the filmmakers desk and said,
"I here to pick up my pass"
"what's the film"
"erm...(whispering) mouth to anus..."
"Oh...." she smirks and she files through a rollidex.

Yesterday apart from meeting a snobby producer and a few girls who sorta knew Seamus McGarvey I spoke to an elderly lady whose son was a director. She asked me which film I shot.
"It's erm... the shortest piece in the festival..."

Today I was at the delegates centre and was booking a DVD screening (we can watch things we've missed on DVD stations, for me today it was You, The Living). When I was asking about the booking she wasn't very helpful. When I came to book I showed her my pass and she suddenly said to the guy next to her,
"Oh, there's your favorite title, this guy directed it!"
"No, I just shot it"
She was more smiley after that.

I also was speaking to a nice lady, a film critic at the centre for on and off about 30 mins before she asked,
"Are you a student?"
"Er no... I'm a Cinematographer"
"Oh really?"


Yes really..........

I'm also an official FILMMAKER, because that's what it says on my badge... and then below my job title is a description of my other specialty...
