I was filming right now in Berlin, and the Best "Boy" Grip on my second unit was a girl .<br />I'm really surprised that it seems so odd to working crew in America to have women in their department.<br />I would not have expected that.The Grip Workshttp://www.thegripworks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578728360904637566.post-8150494829676694732011-01-05T19:48:28.694-08:002011-01-05T19:48:28.694-08:00I heard he doesn't like to be reminded about h...I heard he doesn't like to be reminded about his days as Easy Reader, either.John the Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467337009577733553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578728360904637566.post-77458601866658317052011-01-04T10:10:24.902-08:002011-01-04T10:10:24.902-08:00I don't doubt your experience, but I'm a l...I don't doubt your experience, but I'm a little dumbfounded every time I hear about another g/e crew thinking it's so weird to have a woman in their midst. I've known female grips and electricians since I got my start in the 80's.<br /><br />And, BTW,if I meet Morgan Freeman, I'm going to be struggling to hold myself back from saying, "Nice to meet you. None of my best friends are dating their Step-Granddaughters." Just sayin'.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.com
