Crude Attitude

Ordinary people who want to work in the production side of the industry are expected to be prepared for the reality that behind the scene work is tougher than appearing in front of the camera. While these people would be aware of the knowledge and skills required from them, the difficult part is dealing with celebrities.

Part of gaining experience is through applying as an apprentice, and most often, interns or even fresh graduates end up as production assistants of the production itself or individual actors in the project. Production assistants are important as they attend to the needs of the production, which should, of course, be related to professional matters. Sadly, some celebrities think differently when it comes to treating production assistants.

Whenever Frugal Talent (FT) is on the set, the assigned Production Assistant (PA) could only sigh, as he/she knows how the taping will go. FT relies on the PA for every detail of her need. She would ask the PA to get her water, coffee, etc… frequently. FT treats the PA like her personal slave, rather than assistant. One time, there were leftovers on the set, and FT told her PA to wrap all the remaining food so they could give the food away to stray dogs and cats.

As most PAs are studying mass communications, FT does not care at all. As far as FT is concerned, she is the star and has the power to make PAs follow her. This kind of treatment has made PAs feel low, and among themselves, they know that they do not deserve such treatment from FT. They do wonder why someone who is compassionate over animals can treat the ordinary people around her like filth. Unfortunately, as the PAs need the experience, they would just have to grin, bear it, and make sure that FT will not throw a fit.

Incidentally, despite her numerous projects, FT seems to be quite stingy, and thus, the production people are not too keen on FT. They know that she will not be generous at all. Nonetheless, all production people want to be treated with dignity and work within professional boundaries.
