This weekends shoot was a bit eerie in tone. It was the first weekend that we scaled production down to just two days instead of three, and their was a lack of urgency in the air. We are a mere two weeks away from wrapping the production and this weekend was devoted to grabbing a few pick up shots and also shooting a series of singles used in montage form . Not a lot of heavy lifting and certainly not a lot of beefy scene work. The important thing here will be to not let that mood roll into the final weeks. They are arguably the most intense and difficult. The climax! The story we have been telling is about to burst like a pimple on a sasquatch. By that a mean a pimple so satisfying to pop that it can’t be real. S, yeah…I’m ready to splatter this bitch all over the mirror.

I have a lot of work ahead of me this week in preparation for the last two. Not much to really blog about so instead I will leave you with some behind the scenes pictures. Enjoy them and I will be back next week having one half of the final leg completed.

Welcome to the set!

Our challenge has been to make a very small space seem open and cinematic

Our producer, Galy Bloom, and mascot for TDI, Raimi!

My actors listening respectfully to my notes...or maybe a light blew up.

Sound man, Aaron Gaffey, stands (lies) in for the actor so Dp Shannon Hourigan can light the shot properly.

I love this new lens! i mean, look at it!

The key to indie filmmaking genius is to always be tired and fully bearded.

Hooray for directing movies!

Oh, great. A movie about starving artists. How...starving artist of you.
