It was honestly the least alienated I’ve ever felt from my labor and probably the closest I’ll ever get to working in a coop, even if it was just two people. After the first handful of gigs we split everything down the middle and I loved shooting so much I’d have probably done if it for free if I didn’t have any bills. Editing, on the other hand, sucked ass. And so did dealing with impatient clients. Now I do factory work. Much more consistent and not needing to put money back into gear means I don’t have to sleep in an office building where the heat turns off at night.
