Do we want to do the demoreel/portfolio page exchange thing?

As a recent college grad I'd be interested in sharing demo reels and whatnot. Mine: http://www.phileisenberg.com/Site/Demo%20Reel.html. Forgive the fact that the site was made in iWeb; I don't bill myself as a web designer.

I think I just got a gig as an intern for a short film being shot nearby! I'll get to assist the DP and act as camera op/1st AC/whatever they need. Hopefully saying this won't jinx it.

I've started doing some freelance video work, but really with only one company. How do you guys list freelance work on your resume?

I have a business issue. I freeelanced for a guy 2 months ago. I'm used to being paid COD, but he wanted an invoice. The invoice was sent July 10th, and he still hasn't paid. I've contacted him in the interim to ask what was up, and he told me that there were some issues with the client, he still hasn't gotten paid, blah blah blah (bullshit). I think it's terribly incorrect business practice to wait till the client pays you to pay your employees. What do you guys think I should do? I plan on contacting him AGAIN today to follow up.

Hopefully it won't go to a court-room situation. I contacted him again and after a condescending little "Welcome to freelancing ;)" comment, he's relented to send a check. As many of you have said, and I said to him, I don't think this would've been an issue if I had been made aware of it at the beginning or at least kept in the loop. I may loose him as a potential employer, but the lack of communication on his end has kinda put me off. Although it's tough to come by freelance work so far outside a city, so who knows. I tried not to be a dick, and I think it will work out alright.

What's everyone's opinion on putting late fees on invoices? I almost did it with this one, which could have proved beneficial to me.
