Interns File Suit Against ‘Black Swan’ Producer - NYTimes.com

Everybody does one gig for free to get started, but it’s usually something small scale, like an independent film, which wouldn’t have the money to pay you anyway. My first PA gig was on such a film for six weeks. All I asked for was three meals a day, and I got it. After establishing myself on the set as a capable young man, shortly thereafter I was hired as a PAID PA and never did a freebie again.

Seriously, if you’re a studio/producer/UPM on MAJOR motion picture and you are not paying a kid at least $100 a day to make coffee, answer phones, get lunch and make copies you are a cheap, miserable motherfucker.
