exactly. that's when the professional side pretty much overtakes all personal enjoyment. it becomes work!!

i love movies a lot, but when i think of how much my brother puts time into them only via his work i can't help but be amazed that he still has interest in them on his freetime. i'd be complete toast after a grueling festival, and wouldn't prolly want to see a single film for weeks.

then again he has also said that sometimes it gets so taxing that if anyone would even mention "movies" to him he'd most likely assault them
