Major Failure

I've had a bunch of mini-failures as a producer on a this film -- most filmmaking is a series of mini-failures....but my first major failure occurred tonight. A location completely fell through at the last moment, the lady got jittery and decided to try to charge us $500 to shoot there. It's a fucking joke. I tried to negotiate with her, but only got it down to $150 w/o power and $400 with power. Still a joke and for her to do this at the last minute is an utter and complete disaster. This is a MAJOR failure, we aren't going to be able to shoot tomorrow and we're going into pick up weekend needing to shoot an entire scene. This is a producer failure on two levels - we don't have a back up and we didn't cover all the possible issues that could come up beforehand. Admittedly, I had no time, no money, no resources, no experience...and this lady is gouging us - but it is still a major failure. The producer's job is to give space for the rest of the crew to work. Tomorrow, they will have no space. Period. Bottom line.
