How quickly

How quickly things change! The sound equipment is in, the camera is ready to go, the lights too. The script is even better now, I'm super excited. Hopefully I won't lose sleep tonight. Hopefully everything stays like it is now. Hopefully.

Nerves Deteriorating

I keep waking up every morning, worried. Ready to work. There are still a few things going on that may be problematic, but I got one good thing this morning so far: the weather. I know predicting the weather isn't always perfect, but it seems like for the week we film, the weather is going to be great. So that's one good thing I can add to my list.

The sound equipment is coming in today and hopefully everything else will finish falling into place.

Can't Sleep

It's 5:42. I've been awake for about an hour. There are butterflies in my stomach (I know, what a coincidence). I know it's been a while since I posted anything, I apologize. This film has been getting the best of me, as it should. This past weekend was very important. Clay (the DP) and I got together and went over most of the locations, story, some ideas, etc. The art is really starting to come together in the twilight of production (how existential). The actors were great, everything was great. The Memphis Zoo, the Butterfly area, was stunning, comforting, everything I could imagine if not more so. It settled my mind. It all settled my mind. Knowing, that everything was coming together when it needed could not have made me feel better. It was really good to have all these people around completely ready to help out and who you can count on, that is except one person.

Which brings me to the reason I am awake this early. I'm worried. The thing is I'm always worried, but I've never lost sleep over it.

Filming is scheduled to begin on Friday. Almost everything is in order. Almost.

Keeping my fingers crossed and praying to the film gods,
Winsor
