But I didn't fuck up (too much) the second week, and by the end the ADs said, at various points in time to various people, that I was "a hard worker," someone who "cares enough to cry," and "the real MVP." I had gone through, over the period of the shoot, from the idiot PA who couldn't keep a van from ruining a shot to a kickass PA. Only by mercy did they gave me another week to prove myself. I was later told by a superior that they were considering firing me by the end of the first week.

I had to learn on the job what a lock-up was (it's when a PA makes sure no one walks into a shot by accident), how to organize walkies (I was a walkie PA, of whom almost no respect is ordained), and who is on Second Team (stand-ins for actors). They're not bad people but Christ, can they get rough. Not just in terms of f-bombs but in terms of behavior: with a lot of night shoots and the inhumanities of people working 14 hours every day, people get hardened and mean. I wasn't terribly accustomed to the grotesque profanities on film sets. I quit the lesser film and went to work on THREE BILLBOARDS.Īccording to the old call sheets, shoot was 33 days in total (which is even shorter than I remember), and for about the first 10 I was terrified of losing my job.

I somehow finagled it! I was going to work with some of the greatest cinematic geniuses currently working: Martin McDonagh (the writer/director of two of my favorite films, IN BRUGES and SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS), Sam Rockwell (my acting god), Frances McDormand (my mom's favorite actress and probably mine too), and John Fucking Hawkes (he's the guy who's in every movie ever)! If I wasn't going to become the greatest director of all time after watching both Nicolas Winding Refn and Martin McDonagh work, I didn't know what would. But the movie gods were happy with me, and I landed an interview with the first and second ADs and despite the fact I had no actual on-set experience, they offered me the gig a week later. And for that reason, I actually got turned down twice for work. Considering that movie jobs tend to be 12-14 hour days with no breaks, it was hard for me to get in an interview. Shockingly, my little town in North Carolina had simultaneous $12 million films shooting next to each other. Great.Now, I was actually working on another film when Three Billboards was hiring personnel. If you don't have those characters in the script, why bother to do this fake inclusion stuff? But still. They are "token black guy", only they aren't a black guy. Its too on the nose, and really not particularly interesting giving that they won't even be characters (they do little to nothing). Because she isn't a person, really, the way she's writen. It seems malicious more than social commentary on that type of person.

Now the gripes: -There is a particularly female character that is treated like a "slow person" for no apparent reason other than some might laugh at her.

That's why this deserves a lot of praise for the writing, which is insanely good (except for a couple of huge mistakes) 3-Then there's the drama/story which is perfectly paced and it has social commentary, but I'm not sure that part is neither revolutionary nor especially interesting. Everything that is funny its really the logical conclusion of the funny situations the characters are in, and their normal responses. You know, like most humans! This shouldn't be such a rarity, but it totally is! 2-The funny parts (not always done to make laugh out loud, which is the way it should be) do not require "out of character" stuff. All the protagonists have good and bad things. You know, like most humans!
