This is one of my top-10 Peeves. You need to decide if you are going to be a gym or a film studio. You can't do both. It is really pissing me off. Kingsway did that a few weeks ago as well. They brought in a film crew, and kicked out all of the members. It may not sound like that big of a deal, but it happens frequently.
Anyway, this huge crew of about 10 people, director, camera people, actors, and whomever started to file into my space! They started dropping craploads of gear all over the place, and they dropped their stupid scrips and runsheets all over the ring.
It was getting kind of crowded, which wasn't too bad, until...

I said to him, "Stop turning off my radio", and he said, "Well, we are rolling soon"."We are renting this place."
So? You don't have any manners? I don't give a rat's big red fat patootee who you are or who you thing you are, or what the 'F' you are renting. Don't you have any manners?
I told him, "I don't care. I am paying to train here." Then he said, "When will you be finished?"
I was actually ready to leave, but because he was being an ass, I decided to stay longer. "In about 20 minutes.", I said.
I think he got the message. You are in a boxing gym, buddy. It is not a good idea to piss off the ones who train in there.
I took my sweet time, and made him wait. In the meantime, I took a peek at the script. All I saw was "HOOKER #1:" and "HOOKER #2:" What kind of movie is this?
Don't get me wrong. I am a photographer too. However, I do my best not to interfere with other people. Also, if you want to film, either rent the location at a time when it is not busy. After midnight, for example. Even better, Toronto has about 85,000 film studios. Rent one of those.
OK, that's my rant for now.
