So I've come to a bit of a dilemma. My client has cancelled numerous appointments and hasn't given me any feedback in regards to concepts for the video shoots and has generally been pretty reticent about everything. Whilst she was fully supportive in the beginning and believed in the project's aims, I'm beginning to get frustrated by the one way street this has become and it's holding my schedule plan back. I understand that working with someone who is successful is going to be difficult as they are in constant demand, but I'm not in a position to wait around.
It's not essential for this project to have a client as the main focus is the idea of and the actual format, but the benefits of having a client are having a good name to the piece and the unforeseen turns that a collaboration brings.
So people, I ask you,
To drop the client or not to drop?

If loosing time on the project is affecting the quality of your work then i would drop the client. If your work is successful it will speak for itself.
I do agree with the first comment. Go ahead and do it and so even if she does call 2 weeks to the show, you could say 'this is what I have do you want it?'
I think your project is conceptually strong enough to stand up on its own and doesn't need a 'live' element. A difficult client could end up dragging down the final outcome...whereas if you dropped her you'd have complete freedom to explore any area using your full ability (and time)!

Thanks guys, appreciate this. Looks like I have my answer.
