Happy What’s The Rate? Thursday!
Rebekah Strauss has been embracing the ebbs and flows of freelancing as an assistant director since she graduated from NYU.

We also touch on:
The importance of having a good network
Facebook groups for searching for jobs on set
Navigating tough personalities on set, especially male dominated sets
Overall the importance of focusing on what is best for the film!
Some of her favorite projects she’s worked on as an AD
