a friend of mine told me they hired an "acting director" to work with actors on a commercial. i said 'isn't that the directors job?' and he said nicolas roeg did the same thing. he also said hitchcock hated working with actors. is this true?? are there directors that have someone separate directing the actors on set?? i get that commercials and features are different. but i am shook.

i left my schwab debit in an ATM here. first attempt by schwab to send a replacement, via DHL, was returned by customs. second attempt, same carrier and outcome. third try, i asked them to use fedex. they said they would try USPS. two days later i got a DHL tracking number. i called and asked again to use fedex. they said they would. today i got i think my 4th(?) DHL tracking number. every time i call schwab they tell me they have had problems with DHL shipments to mexico. and every time i end up with a DHL tracking number. i am calling the 888 403-9000 line. does anyone have any other suggestions for getting a piece of plastic into mexico? 😅 it's been three weeks, and i am losin my mind!

sorry, if this is the wrong place to post. i am going on 3 weeks trying to get my debit card replaced. 3 years ago the same thing happened (i left my card in an ATM), and had a replacement in a few days. i am hearing that the MX government is cracking down on fraud and money laundering. does anyone have any tips or tricks? to be clear: i am a US citizen. i have no bank or other credentials in mexico. thank you!!

howdy friends. i left my debit card in an ATM 2 weeks ago, called my bank in the US, and they immediately sent a replacement via DHL. that one got stuck in customs, then returned to sender. the bank told me they would try USPS next, and a few days later i received an email from DHL(?!) with a new tracking number. this envelope also appears to be in customs limbo. i am low key beginning to panic, as i pay my landlord here in cash. does anyone have another idea how to get a replacement debit card to mexico city? thank you!
