As I have written previously, 2013 has been quite challenging because of job hunting in Melbourne (Aussie nickname = Melbs). About 3 weeks ago, I was offered the opportunity to coordinate the previs department for a feature film shooting in Sydney on the Fox lot. I've been wanting to go back to working on a lot since I left Sony, and I jumped at the chance. The first 2 weeks whizzed by, I've learned so much and am really excited about the project. It simply feels amazing to be working again.
It would be an absolutely perfect situation except for the fact that Richard is in Melbs. Sydney is about an hour flight or an 8 hour drive. The current plan is to commute back and forth on weekends which is somewhat reasonable price wise. I got very lucky finding a studio in Paddington (Aussie nickname = Paddo) which is about a 10 min. bike ride/25 min walk.
It's exciting to be in a new city and have the opportunity to do some exploring. The Sydney Opera House is something I've been so excited to visit, and seeing it for the first time was simply incredible. I'm also really happy to have access to both theatre scenes in Sydney & Melbs.
Crazy story to end on. My first night here, I ended up running into a friend from high school that I hadn't seen in 11 + years (since Tabor graduation). It was some random side street, Richard almost had us turn to walk another way to dinner, and suddenly it was like holy crap! The chances of running into the 1 person you know in a city of 4 + million is insane! And now we live just a few blocks away from one another:)
