Day off today after 4 grueling, but incredibly productive shooting days. Crew and talent were both on fire — making it seem like I didn’t even have to be there!!
I’m really diggin’ working with everyone — and am already formulating future things to throw people into if they’d be willing to work with me again (fingers crossed). It’s so weird to shoot multiple storylines as it feels like we’re making 8 movies. Every new scene brings new passion and excitement in different ways — it’s hard to describe, but it’s a great feeling. I can’t wait to see how these characters and stories start to take shape once the film cuts together.
Yesterday was pretty much a full day shooting outdoors in Queens — and it was 60 degrees out — simply beautiful. We had to have all the actors in full on Winter gear and fake that they were cold.
On a funny note….trying to throw my regular cast member Jeremy Koerner — playing “Elliot George” — for a loop in a scene I had the very lovely and talented actress Vanessa Streiff — playing “Samantha Thompson” — do some improv which indirectly spawned my very own Tarantino “Red Apple” product that I will throw around in this film and future ones. I won’t tell what it is — and people may never notice it — but if anything it will make me smile every time I see it.
