Day 1

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

It’s rare for a film director to be able to say they didn’t have to make any sacrifices on set.  Today was one of those days.  Due to the generosity of Dr. Saca and his staff, we were able to use one of his practices as a location for the first two scenes of the film.  We shot two scenes and they came out even better than I’ve been planning and storyboarding for the past few months!  I have an incredible crew that made the day run smoothly and efficiently.  We were able to get a sweet 1966 Mustang lent to us through the generous donation of our new friend Phil!  Our character Art looked rad driving that baby.

I am pretty tired from shooting then running around all day.  My production designer Bill came over to my house tonight to prepare Caleb’s Room, which we’re shooting here at my condo.  With everything we got from Universal Props the room is looking sweet.  My DP Dustin is doing a bang-up job and we prepared some more this evening.

I am truly blessed to be working with such a fine crew!  I cannot wait to continue shooting tomorrow!
