Now is the winter of our discontent...

Hope everyone survived Christmas and New Year's!

Now the waiting truly begins. If you're like us over here at The Boston Production Assistant, someone recently -- probably at a holiday party -- asked you, "So what are you working on next?"

To which you sheepishly replied, "I don't know yet." You might have launched into an explanation about seasonal work, unemployment benefits, or how producers from LA just don't work in snow. The person who asked nodded thoughtfully at your monologue, sipped his drink and secretly looked around for someone more interesting.

We've all been there. It's okay. Just hang on until March, when you suddenly can brag about how you "work in film" again. Of course, by then, you won't have time for parties... too busy xeroxing the blue paged rewrites and coallating scripts. Also, don't forget the Starbucks lattes, and make sure that they use soy milk.
