I'm VERY sensitive, I'm sure a lot of you are as well, but this director was a dictator, verbally abusive to his crew. I took a job on his shoot on the crew, had a very bad gut feeling about the shoot, but needed the money so I worked on it anyway.

He was a dictator, his set was chaos, he hasn't matured beyond a 13 year-old boy, and was flat out verbally abusive to me and probably others.

I was upset and an actor and another crew member nodded at me like it was nothing, said they have come across many verbally abusive/dictator type film directors, and that you have to be objective, do your job, that it goes along with the industry, and that you just seek out the other legitimate and professional rew members on the shoot. This was a low budget shoot and the script wasn't even worth blinking an eye lash for, but what if you're working on a major network shoot and this happens? I guess that would be different.

Next time this happens I'm going to leave. I can't tolerate verbal abuse, I'm too sensitive and my emotions are very easily broken. Or do you think you need to compartmentalize this, and finish the project, since you agreed to the shoot, and you wouldn't want to jeopardize your name and reputation as a quitter?
