Behind the scenes of Buck Mark
Being a Grip PA on a big budget short film
This June I had the exciting opportunity to work on a large budget proof of concept short film called Buck Mark. While I was unpaid as a Grip PA, it was a fantastic learning experience and has led to some great connections.
If you look carefully you can see me in the background of quite a few shots.
Below are a few of the BTS shots I managed to get.

A lot of sitting around in the grip truck on day two.

All-in-all it was a lot of work, but I got to meet and work with some really great people.
