For Good Reason

As most production outfits have resumed work, lockdown shoots add pressure to the set. The team, from production staff to actors, has to stay in a particular area for a specific period, which lasts for weeks. Thus, one is separated from family, friends, and home. This separation can cause anxiety given that one’s freedom of movement is constrained.

Unfortunately, Network Talent (NT) had to endure pressure not only from being away from home, but from working with seasoned actors. Given that NT is still polishing her talent, nervousness when doing a scene with a known actor can take over. The production team was initially understanding when NT needed more than one take for heavy scenes. The older talents supported NT and even the acting team helped. Sadly, they all reached the limit. NT kept buckling lines, which caused delays in shooting. The delays lessened the rest and preparation hours of the team.

Talented Actress (TA) was unable to control her emotions when her scenes with NT were taking too much time. TA noticed that NT was underperforming. Subsequently, TA had an outburst at NT for not reaching the needed acting level. Allegedly, TA walked out after due to her frustration. Things did not stop there, as TA vented her ire in an online group. Apparently, TA pointed out that NT should have taken acting lessons before the shooting and other talents are far more deserving of NT’s role.

The following day, NT apologized to TA and said that she had family matters that she could not stop to think of. However, her troubles should not be an excuse for bad performance. NT hoped TA would understand her situation. TA accepted the apology. The flare-up was, nonetheless, a wakeup call for NT to do better.
