AWOLSo I'm on set tomorrow until the 25th so I'll be pretty AWOL around here. I'm 2nd ACing on a feature shooting on the red scarlet.

On addition to being AWOL for that I'll also be AWOL from RTX.

This saddens me, as I was looking forward to it, but I got the call from IATSE Local 600 (the camera union), and I'm being invited to take their Assistant Camerman test. This text Is offered once a year, and only 30 people are chosen to take it. The test is July 27-28, but the 7, 14, 21, are workshops were we go over the cameras that are on the test.

The workshops are optional, but missing one of them would put me at a severe disadvantage. This is a step forward in my career that I can't afford to miss.

I am sad you won't be at RTX, but I think this test is really, really important and I hope you do well.

Really sad we can't continue our escapades at RTX, but really happy you've got a rock solid opportunity dude. I know what it's like to give up something you care about for...well, something else you really care about too.

Godspeed bud.

Such an awesome opportunity, I understand why you are missing RTX. It's a tough, but right decision.

It's going to suck not seeing you there, dude. So maybe I'll make it out to RT:Philly next year.

We are going to miss you at RTX, dude. But hey, there's still RvBTO and Philly...

Best of luck with the exam. It's a hell of an opportunity for sure. No doubt it will make finding good work easier in the future if you pass.

Too bad about RTX, but it's great to hear about the opportunity. Too good to pass up for sure and we wish you the best.

Have a great time on set and I'll see you later this month!

I hope you will do well and ACE that test even if it means you'll miss RTX. More credentials to your list. I'll see your face this year one way or another.
