I am always able to sustain my health during jobs, but if the job is a big one, like this Summer was, I very often get sick when it is all over. It has been this way since my early twenties when I first started working on feature films, some of which took almost an entire year to complete.
The frustrating thing about this situation is that the job isn't over yet!
Two weeks ago I returned home to my family in France from the solar farm in Yorkshire and have been awaiting further instructions on how we are going to progress with the editing.
It has been amazing being back with my family but now my energy levels have subsided and this is the moment when my immune system seems to becomes susceptible.
Bad timing
The editing instructions finally came in this morning and needless to say, now I don't feel like doing it!
Especially as it seems to me like my beautiful artistic film is being brutalised by a bunch of suits who don't have the same vision as me... at all.
In the end I just have to LET IT GO and remind myself this is not my solar farm and not my film.
Always the same sickness
The only type of sickness I ever seem to experience is this.
It starts as a headache, sore throat and blocked nose.
A few days later the coughing begins as it moves into my chest.
The nose runs constantly and the voice drops deep.
Throughout this period I produce what appears to be an impossible amount of phlegm & snot.
Around about the fifth day I start to feel normal again.
Naturally, I started feeling off last night and they want the film done by Friday, which means I must work through this sickness if I would like to get paid. Which I do!
Holiday needed
Gonna take the family somewhere fun when the last payment comes in. Screw investing anything more into crypto. That hasn't worked out so well for me this Summer. Instead we are just gonna spend it!
We are thinking to drive down to Morocco for a few weeks :)
Nothing too extravagant, but a holiday none the less.
And finally I will be able to move on from this crazy job!
