Re: difficulties with clients
by Todd Terry on Apr 3, 2008 at 1:03:48 pm

I've never done it, or had to, but I've sometimes secretly dreamed of the moment where I could throw up my hands, dramatically turn and begin to walk away, while announcing old-Hollywood style "I'm off the project!"

This might be one of the cases where you have to do so, if the excellent advice you have been given here does not work.

It sounds like they have already cost you well over the thousand bucks in grief. That's a tiny amount in the production world, sometimes it's better to walk away.

And, not to be mean, but the next time you are packing up your gear for a location shoot, double check and make sure you have included your backbone. Unless this gal is the one paying your bills or has been granted authority over you by the client, they can't tell you what to do.

Unless you let them.
