I used to be a Key Set PA on an indie function and was in cost of some new PAs. We had been inside a home establishing for a scene. I used to be proper beside the first AD and had PAs on standby.
The grips and electricians had been doing their factor and I overheard one in all them ask on his radio “can I get 1 / 4 apple?” One of many PA goes off to a different room. I didn’t assume something of it. A couple of minutes go by, this cute PA walks as much as me with a plate of apples minimize into quarters and asks me who wanted them.
I couldn’t assist it… I smiled and pointed to the grips.
It’s okay to have a little bit of fun, so long as you’re not a twat about it. Bear in mind, nobody was born understanding these items.1
And to be trustworthy, I gotta respect the child PA. She noticed there was an issue, and went to repair it, no questions requested. Now, possibly she ought to’ve requested a query, however, y’know. She’s obtained the appropriate perspective.
Go get that apple, and sooner or later you, too, may be the important thing PA.
