Some Film Industry Sayings Where more than one constitutes a camera crew, or even a film unit, personality and the ability to mix and live with others plays a significant role in whether or not a person makes a successful career in the film industry. Film making is essentially team work and nice people work best if they have nice people around them. There is no place for the abrasive loner. There is an old saying in the industry which goes “Be nice to those you pass on the way up, you may meet them again on the way down.”
“It’s not the ups and downs that bother me, it’s the jerks!”
“Always give the public what they want whether they like it or not.”
