C is for costume designer. I used to be a costume designer in the independent film industry. I studied costume design in college, and graduated with a degree in it! I worked hard to get jobs, make connections, work my way up in the industry here in Utah (yes, there’s a small film industry in Utah) and I even did an internship with a big famous costume designer in LA. It was a great job when I was single. I got to travel, and work with fun people, but when you’re on a film, you’re working 6 days a week, at least 12 hours a day. For me, it was more like 15 hours a day. The industry here isn’t consistent, but I made it work the best I could. When I was shooting, nothing else in my life existed. It was 100% filming. After I got married the things that were a little annoying as a member of a film crew, only got worse. When I was on a film, I couldn’t see Josh as much as I wanted to, I couldn’t do normal things like make dinner, go on dates, attend family functions together. Plus I felt like all the films here in Utah were either low budget, low quality, and they really just worked me ragged and I was very unhappy when I was working on the films. <\/p>\n

So, I finally made the hard decision to stop pursuing film work. I knew there were better things for me to do and that I could be happier in other design arenas. And I was right. But turning down those first couple films was very tough! There’s a saying that goes: The coolest thing about being in the film industry is saying you’re in the film industry. And its so true. It was REALLY cool to SAY I was a costume designer, but I wasn’t happy. Just goes to show ya that sometimes the dream that you think you want and are working for turns out to be totally different than you thought! <\/p>\n

The photo above is a costume from a movie called “Moving McAllister” that came out earlier this year. We filmed the movie a LONG time ago, but it just recently came out. Anyway – its one of the many fun costumes\/characters I got to create for that movie. <\/p>\n

Anyway, even though I don’t do it professionally anymore, costume design is a part of me, and always will be! And now y’all know it! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
