Fuck fuck fuckety fucking FUCK!
Enthusiastically seconded!
You met them too?
I've met similar types. Every line of work has a few of them.
Filmmakers are speshul, see. Nothing else matters but their miserable little works.
From what I've seen on TV, it could be worse. You could be working on fashion shows.
I doubt it. These people think the world revolves around them.
Who do you work with?
Right now? The Göteborg Film Festival. See

The filmmakers are from all over the world. Sadly, the Swedish are the worst of the lot. They don't know their craft and they are rude, and they are always the one with the most complaints.
Americans are by far the best. They are polite and respect you and what you do, and they know their field, both the artistic side and the technical details. The same holds true with the Brits.
