When you put time and reputation on a film are you not also taking financial risk? If the film flops then odds are you will get less work, and less paying work. This art director was treated like an unpaid intern.
Reading banmefromposting's screenshot of the thing it kinda sounds like he's hoping that time and reputation will bring connections for people who worked on it, which it probably will
Idk i'm having a hard time getting worked up for the art director, like yeah I'd be mad if something i worked on made millions and i got shit, but also, she got paid almost 7000 for less than a month's work. i'm sure she's struggling but that's nearly a quarter of my yearly income, in a month. And she's got "art director for Obsession" on her resume now, i can't imagine she'll be struggling to find decent work
It's sympathetic because these types of people are usually funded per-project. Yes she made $7000 for less than a month's work but that may be her only work for months to over a year. The hope would be that since this movie has taken off, she would immediately get a bigger project, with better pay and experience less downtime between jobs. But who knows. Since she went on twitter and it set-off a huge struggle-session over there, she might get blacklisted now for complaining.
There's nothing wrong with complaining and discussing one's wages of course. But this is America where you're not allowed to bite the hand that feeds. Lower-level employees on projects should be able to negotiate for percentages of BO but the big companies that pick up these movies won't let that happen. Everyone just gets told "this is the way it is, work harder".
Read the actual statement instead of falling for ragebait.
The art director got paid 300$ a day, which is not like being treated as an unpaid intern
