I know I have been remiss in my blog entries - please forgive me! I just finished moving and for some reason it was the most horrific move I have ever dealt with. I don't know why - but I am still exhausted from the ordeal! :P

Anyway, what I am logging in to say today is that I am discovering something, as I film, that is really inspiring to me as a director. What I am discovreing is that, as Vicki so aptly put it "Your peeps are taking this seriously!"

What does this mean? It means that everyone comes to the shoots with their lines memorized (well ... except Stephanie...) It means that they ask questions about motivation, wardrobe and how they fit in to the big picture of the whole movie. It means they're willing to work hard - and it shows.

Case in point is the shoot this past Saturday with Angie and Jenny. They were pros while I positioned them, and asked them to not only remember their lines, but their blocking and - oh yeah - they had to act too! They were even rehearsing while I set up the lights! I watched the footage back and I can't wait to edit. It's gonna be a great scene.

And I feel that way every time. I keep watching the tapes and thinking, how lucky am I that I somehow assembled a group of cast members who not only are willing to volunteer huge amounts of time to my project, but are also really damn good actors!??!!? It doesn't seem possible.

So - a big thanks to all of the cast members! My movie is going to be better because of your willingness to "put yourself out there," and I couldn't do it without you! :)
