So, in true indie form, when you think you've gotten everything organized and you're plain sailing towards your shoot, the little fine thread at the end of seam begins to undo itself!
We lost our HOUSE location monday lunchtime and I have spent the last 26 hours on the hunt for a new location! And we found one....by the kindness of my casting director, Meg Lansaw stepping up and letting me use some of her historic house! Meg you are a true star....now I have to dress it!
On top of that, last night we had to recast the part of Jimmy as Cullen Moss has become unavailable this weekend. I am sad to lose him on this project but I understand when duty calls and I hope to work with him on another project in the future.
But all is not lost!!!!! We are blessed with the talent of Devin McGee (One Tree Hill, IQ-145, Port City PD) who steps in at the last minute to play the part of JIMMY. After an indepth discussion with him this evening over the phone, we are now up to speed with the character and the script and we will organize a rehearsal with Bill Ladd on Thursday night on set to run their scenes together. Overnight, Devin has JIMMY down pat! I'm looking forward to working with him.
Another great discussion took place tonight with my Script Supervisor, Candice Grubb who has an incredible eye for detail and it would appear has stripped apart my script down to the very bone to get to grips with the story! I am incredibly impressed with her comments and thoughts on the script and am really looking forward to working with her...She has her pulse on this story.
So, the drama goes on. Tomorrow I must set dress the house and get ready for a shot-by-shot meeting with my DP Shawn at 6pm, where we will walk thru the whole script. Then it's more set dressing, the last of the prop purchasing and then final prep on thursday before a last rehearsal with Bill and Devin. Then it's equipment pick-up and the beginning of photography.
