ReelShort villain role — $900/day, intense but the director was incredible

Just finished 4 days as the villain in a ReelShort revenge thriller. $900/day which is about as good as it gets for supporting on this platform. The director is someone I'd work with again in a heartbeat. She did full table reads before each shooting day, gave clear direction but also let me play, and called cut when she had it instead of doing 47 takes of the same angle. Pace was still intense (16 pages/day) but it didn't feel chaotic because the schedule was actually planned. Meals were hot and on time. Safety meeting at the start of day 1 covered the fight choreo. The one negative: they wanted me to do my own makeup for the first two days because their MUA called in sick. I pushed back and they got a replacement by lunch on day 1. Annoying but they handled it. This is what micro drama CAN look like when the production actually invests in prep.
