Principle Photography

With only a day and a half of principle photography left I am eager to start reviewing the footage and mapping out post-production.  It has been a tough shoot as we've been forced to rearrange our schedule several times, but we've been getting a lot of great stuff.  The performances by Nathan Phillips, Shannon Lucio, Zach Knighton, Janina Gavankar, Patrick Bauchau, Turk Pipkin, and Chad Mathews have far exceeded my expectations and made my job as director effortless.  Literally.  Every take has been EXACTLY spot on. The actors are the characters and it has been magical to watch.  Steve Acevedo and his camera crew have photographed every scene beautifully and I can't wait until the film is ready to screen.  Our crew, at every position, has worked tirelessly in the hot sun and if they don't care about making a great movie they're faking it nicely.  Within the next week I'll be uploading screen grabs from the actual footage.  More to come...
