We scattered the shoot for this feature out over a longer length of time for this movie for a couple of reasons. Chief among them was the ability to edit the film as we go, working to make sure we exactly what we want and shape the story as needed. So this weekend was the longest stretch we have in regards to consecutive days. It was exhausting, touching, intense…and a blast.
We opened at the Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos. We can’t thank the good folks over there enough. We ended up shooting 8 pages there. The crew rocked. 
Well oiled machine. I can’t say enough about some of the newer folks who have joined our merry band of filmmakers. The day featured a lot of actors that we hadn’t worked with in years! Funny Books vet Anjelica Hymel made the trip in, along with Orion Gallagher who returned to our set. We also had Abram’s vet Madison Weber back. It’s been too long yellow dress. We also have Hannah Borel make her debut for us. Can’t wait to see her on the Sorority Slumberparty set. But the featured actor today was Twitchy pal Marc Wasserman in from LA. He did an amazing job. Great night. And a little dab will do ya. 
The next day felt like…well a boxing match. Allison Wood kicked us off with such a touching, heartfelt eulogy moment that had the rest of her cast mates in tears. It’s such a humbling experience to see
that happen based on words you wrote. Then we went to our next location. This movie has a lot of emotion in it, depending on the dynamics of an estranged father/son relationship. So while not spoiling the scene, I will say…it was an amazing example of how two incredibly talented actors can feed off one another to make some magic happen. They were exhausted afterward.
And then a little girl showed up…had one line…yea…
Shooting out of continuity is always weird for the actors and the crew. We followed it up for the next two days with the scenes leading up to our big moment. It was an interesting challenge for the actors to find the place BEFORE the emotional explosion they experienced. So, a great weekend. And of course…now…Wass is in town. So we ALL know what that means…right?
So now we’re 6 days in. 30% of the shoot is already behind us. Next week we head to Sabinal, Texas for our first two days out there…
