Over the past 8 days I think I’ve had 7 hours of sleep. We started out with the best intentions... 4 days of shooting during the day... 4 days of shooting during the night. First day, we got ahead of schedule... second day behind because Sprint decided to build a cell phone tower and bust our sound, and the third we started doubling up - days and nights. He we were, AGAIN, working both night and day... easily 20 hour production days. Not to mention watching the dailies and finally getting to sleep at 6am, only to rise at 7 for an 8am call.
Despite that, we had the best time of the entire run. We came together as a group and got some great shots, and had a lot of laughs, both on and off camera. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life, especially when Roxy read Katy’s Mom her sexual horoscope from an obscure 70’s book... crazy.
This film keeps getting better and better. I have the best job in the world - I feel like a rockstar. Our camera moves keep getting bigger and more complex. The visual style of the film is growing with every shoot, as we become a more cohesive and polished production unit.
Raccoons stole more fake blood. Darcie kicked ass with more gore makeup effects as we tied mutilated cheerleaders to trees. And Megan swam through alligator infested waters once again, to get another great shot. We built a fake gas station in the middle of know where. Bounced the killer off the hood of a car. And sang songs around the campfire. Hunter made us laugh. Roxy’s performance made us cry. And mom brought us Bar B Q that was to die for. ...and I’m not even going to talk about how cool the kissing contest was... lets just say Roxy and Denise won, but there were no losers.
I can’t wait for the next shoot. I can’t wait to make another movie with these people! So big props to Roxy, Julin, Megan, Katy, Alyssia, John, Kavon, Juan, Hunter, Donna, Kevin, Darcie, George, Katy’s Mom, and my Mom!
