Couldn't Do It

raloriaThanks so much to all of you who commented with such encouragement and advice over my Script Supervising job offer this morning! You guys are the greatest! Group Hug! 
Having said that....I had to decline the job. :(
I learned a lot in the past few hours about the production. The whole story is this: My name was mentioned to this film's Associate Producer by the Assistant Line Producer of my recently completed film experience. However, this film production, I learned, has been a disaster from the start. They've been very disorganised and most of their crew bailed on them. Apparently their SS did as well. They even knew they weren't going to have a SS for their final week and yet they waited until the last minute to find a replacement. *facepalm* Not good.
I don't even know how I could have done the job effectively, having not seen any of the previous filmed footage. I wouldn't know the script, the actors....it's just a disaster waiting to happen. Plus, they're filming in the Central District of Seattle, at night. It's a bad part of town, known for it's high crime rate. And I know nothing of Seattle and certainly don't know my way around. Having to try and find my way there and back home, at night...the idea made me very uneasy. If I'd had a few days notice and had a chance to go there and get a feel for the area, I might have felt a little better about the situation.
I feel bad for turning down a great opportunity, but I had to go with what's best for me. The more I thought about it, the worse I felt. I can only hope that other jobs will present themselves soon. *sigh* I hope I won't regret this later.
