yes, I understood the point the article was making. A film like that must pay well, and they are all promised the offer to return if they do not have to seek out other work. I'm not saying it's right or fair to everyone, but don't you think if you happen to be the directors favorite camera man the director would not make sure you were ok until everything blew over. Most of them are like family (or so I've heard from those who claim to know), and kind to those they like, whether it's the star or the theoretical new make-up girl that really has potential talent.
