Why are people in the filmmaking world like this???

Well when I said "they are too good", I didn't mean it in an insulting way. I mean like some crew members, you see their resume and you know they're like really experienced and you know, there's no way they're going to accept deferred pay basis and when they do say no to deferred pay, you understand because from looking at their resume and their extensive experience, you can understand why.

I know you didn't mean it as an insult. that's why I said, "Try
not to think of it that way." It comes off as an insult. I have a
lot of experience. I often work for free. People who know the
job doesn't pay yet still send in their resume are willing to work
for free. Don't dismiss then because you THINK they "too good"
or won't work for free.

I get it - you feel upset because some people are rude. Don't
close your mind to everyone with experience because a few
were jerks. Keep an open mind. When I was 16 I found a great DP
and sound team who had a lot of experience. They worked on my
first short film for free.

I have offered to help you breakdown your script. I guess I better
not send you a resume. You'll see my extensive experience doing
breakdowns and budgeting and you'll think there's no way I would
work for free.
