Prudence

Safety means more than looking our for the welfare of your cast and crew, it means also respecting your locations, and the people who live and work there long after you are gone.  It means remembering that you are making a film, and that is wonderful, amazing, fantastic!  But it's not more important than people or property.

Protect your locations, speak with soft voices in polite language, do not let your desire to create an image override your good judgement.  Do not put life, limb nor property at risk.

Remember that as you walk through life, you are an ambassador for those who follow in your footsteps.  Behind you is a legacy with a price that others may have to pay, so act prudently and be aware of your responsibility.

Through it all, stop from time to time to appreciate your good fortune at having the opportunities that you have worked so hard to achieve - you are making films.  What could be better!
