Okay thanks. I tried applying to the Canada Arts Council myself but they told me the script I provided was not eligible since it's a 'crime drama'.
I guess I could do what he does and say I am a DP and such when I'm not but if I were him, I'd be afraid in getting caught in a lie, especially when I seem to know more than he does and it was me correcting him on what to do on his set of the TV pilot. Not that I am a expert by any means, but he didn't know certain things a DP should know, like white balance.
I guess to me it just seems like fraud. I mean if you lie to the airline and say your a pilot to get on a plane, or lie to the courts, and say you're a lawyer to get a case, it's punishable and people take a dim view.
Defraud airlines, courts, hospitals, etc, and you're considered a criminal. Defraud the movie/television business, and no one cares, and you're a success. Go figure.
