this story may have a sad ending.
the sun has started to shine, after a many months of things being quite dry and bleak.
i've met a girl. it's going slow, but it's going really well. we go out to dinner and realize the restaurant is closing and we've been there 4 hours and had no idea where the time passed...she's quite gorgeous, intelligent, funny, etc etc. i'm actually pretty amazed at how well we mesh.
things with work are turning around as well. my old shooting gig wants to hire me for 4 month stint again, which is welcome...but on the same day i got a call. it was from a camera assistant in philly in regards to working on a film i thought i was out of the running for. apparently i'm not. they were going to hire some producer's son or nephew or something, the silver spoon syndrome, but apparently she really liked my resume and i'm still in consideration. then just today i get an email from a friend out east who apparently interviewed for the same spot. she thought she had it on lockdown between her and the producer's son...but apparently when i came into the picture i supposedly am at the top of the list. which is crazy!
this is a big movie for me. james l brooks directing (guy that writes the simpsons, did "as good as it gets" etc etc), and janusz kaminski is the cinematographer (schindler's list, saving private ryan, etc)...i don't know if i have it, but apparently things are looking good.
this is where i'm torn. if i get it. i'll be in philly through october...and then who knows what'll happen after that. i'd been thinking about moving east for a while, obviously. but (and ugh...i know it's really lame.) i really like this girl. a lot. obviously we've not been dating very long but if i go to philly in a couple weeks (literally i'll know in less time) then i'd have to end things with her and i mean, really, i'm kind of blown away at how well we get along.
what would you do? if you were really into someone would you tell them you'd come home as many weekends as possible? or that when filming was done you'd come back and try to see where things were? if i get this film, it's a big deal for me...and i'd be an idiot to turn it down because i really liked a girl...or would i be? i really don't know.
it's a tough decision for me and even though i don't even have the gig yet, i feel as though it'd be just my luck for me to have to choose between two potentially great things in my life.
gah.
