VFX producer, Julia Frey, was profiled here a while back. If you missed it, click here.

Her blog isn’t always about being on location. It’s about her life. But working on back-to-back film shoots has certainly made her blog, like her life, about being location. She recently returned from a shoot in Morocco and the UK and is currently in the US Pacific Northwest scouting a new project.

There is a very specific rhythm and tone to a movie set. It varies according to how happy the set is, which has little to do with the budget of the project (though creature comforts, such as high-end craft service, can’t hurt). Add to that being away from home and family, working odd hours, exploring new cities, becoming close with people who were total strangers just weeks ago…

Julia’s blog, Julia’s Mexico City, captures it perfectly, such as in this post, where she discusses working nights on various projects over the years. If you like reading that one, poke around. You can learn a lot about what life would be like for you if you followed a similar career path to Julia.
