She’s had broken toes on her both feet for a week and on Thursday while filming she broke her foot on set by dropping the 50lb tripod head directly onto it. But director of “Asburied In Time” documentary, Bridget Machete wasn't going to let anything stand in the way of finishing her interviews with Bob Crane and Glen Burtnik. Bridget said “I didn't even cry when it happened, the first thing I thought was-good thing I'm going for a bone scan in a few days for the old break.”

When you are a film director, producer and you’re in the midst of filming with fascinating people you can’t just call it a day so Bridget toughed it out for the sake of the project. Team Machete is very proud of their momma…

Here is a very short list of things that directors, crew and cast might want to watch out for:

Bumping into a camera crane

'The Great Gatsby' director Baz Luhrmann bumped into a camera crane and needed three stitches in his head.

Getting stung by a wasp

Guardians Of The Galaxy director James Gunn was stung on the ear by a wasp.

Being attacked by muggers

Michael Bay was attacked on the Hong Kong set of Tranformers 4 by two brothers demanding payment of HK$100,000 ($12,900). Bay was left with injuries to right side of his face, but declined medical assistance.

Or dropping a 50lb tripod on your foot … :)

Go ahead and chip in here if you can think of anything else ….
