Brent's Rule


Richard Lightstone, CAS

There is one safety concern to bring up that has to do with freelancers and not the production companies; The concern in getting rest for those of us who jump from project to project and dealing with different production companies one day to the next. Got to always be careful when ABC News hires you for Monday, wraps you at 1AM and then NBC News hires you for Tuesday and expects you on location at 5AM. Got to have a replacement for yourself planned out whenever that kind of scenario pops up.

Good point, José.  I have been on movies where some crew people have worked all Friday night into Saturday and then drove straight to another job, usually a commercial, for a 7 or 8 am call on Saturday! This is nuts! I agree with you completely in this situation, which freelancers find themselves in all the time, the responsibility does rest with the worker (not the various employers) to insure you are getting enough rest.
