So this week the cast had their final read through and rundown of the shooting schedule. The Assistant Director and myself will have crew meeting at the end of the week, and then I get to sit back in and worry until Tuesday morning when we set out to gather all the final material and begin pre-lighting for the shoot. I must say I am feeling a lot better about this shoot than any before it. Could be that I'm just getting used to the stress, but I would like to think we're just more prepared. Someone once told me that the more comfortable you feel with the stress the more worried you should be. I'm still on the verge of pulling hairs, so I think I'm at a good compromise to the alternative.
Right now the only real downside to all this is that I will miss the opening night of Transformers, but these are the prices we pay to be in the film business ha ha. At least I know what I'm doing the day after we wrap.
I'm looking forward to the stress and satisfaction that comes with making a film. It's always that sense of calm created out of total chaos. I think that is the one truly good feeling about being a storyteller. Making some sense out of something born from the mind and given shape by so many talented and hard working people. Of course even the hard working need sleep. Until next week everyone. Goodnight!

- Born in south Texas and raised in Alaska for the last 11 years. Moved to California with my wife to begin working towards my MFA at the New York Film Academy. I've studied motion pictures and screen writing for more than 10 years, and I hope to further my education and career with the shorts and scripts I produce during my time in Los Angeles. I hope one day to have a family production company with some of the great cast and crew I've met since my arrival. Building a team, writing the story, and bringing them to the big screen is what I hope to accomplish in the near future. Do right and fear not are words I live by.
