Basically the score is this:
There is a lack of directors in Ireland, as they wont license UK types usually unitl they have made you dance 6 times at interveiw or until they know you dont work for the big UK firms.
You work as a director under the lisence of the lisenced director, still with me?
This way they can get one director to direct a massive project using the loophole that every other director works under one lisence for the whole scheme held by the lisenced director.
Now you would think the buck stops with lisenced director, yeah! Well it dosnt and if as an assitant director you get into a sticky situation arranged by the license holder you are conveinetly got rid of and hey presto the licensed director gets off scot free and the project license is still held.
It stinks it really does you are for all intensive purposes disposable and you have to do what the licenced director tells you and most of them suck. You basically have no room for manover.
