The Associate Producer - The Interview

Today I had the meeting I posted about yesterday. It went extremely well and it looks like I’m going to be pushed through for a second interview with one of the higher ups, hopefully later in the week.

Looking back, I can honestly say that I’m pretty damn good in interviews. This one in particular was great because the producer was very real and candid with me. Even though I met at her house, it didn’t feel awkward at all. The best part about the interview is that I got some more insight into the job and what it entails. It’s much more substantial than I was led to believe, so if I do get this job it will be a huge leap into the TV game considering I have zero experience. This particular producer got promoted after only six months and she’s down for her shit. She’s the type of person you want to ride with because she let it be known what her goals are and that she was going to achieve them. Make no mistake, my main goal is to succeed in the writing game, but if I can get some experience as TV producer that’s a hell of a back-up plan.

So while I spend the week waiting by the phone for some notification on my second interview I’ll also be finishing up my first screenplay. It’s going to be a pretty exciting accomplishment for me considering that I never expected to be going down this road. I’m at such a changing point in my life that it feels like I’m trading in my life for something completely different. I hope I get this damn job……
