Your Face Implodes At My Experimental Film

Hearing Glad -- Nellie McKay
So, I basically just got back from an all night shoot at the video
store. We were finished at 6:30 am, which was awesome, mostly because
the last time we shot at the video store, I didn't get out of there
until 11 am. Our main actor, Adam, is pretty much finished (still has a
couple of pick-ups, but without any dialogue, and, of course, our ADR
day). The female lead, Anna, only has one more scene to shoot, a really
easy scene that won't take more than an hour or so to shoot (at least I
hape. Our director is quite particular).
So, pretty much everything for the main feature is contained there. However, on the 14th, we shoot for our very last day of principle photography. This will be a long, stressful day. Mostly because I get to direct this sequence that, at this point, has not been completely written or storyboarded. It's kinda minor, but it's still lots of pressure. The actress for this part is cast, but I've never met her. No pressure, right? I mean, the stuff I'm shooting only *opens* the movie... I'm both really excited and really scared...
We've been talking a lot about local filmmakers. we've seen some really crappy local movies (Zombie Planet [which has made $500,000 on NetFlix {note to self: Include "zombie" in our next movie title}], Shadow's Light), but investors seems to be interested. $75,000-$100,000? Our short film is soooo much better... Certainly we can get some bucks for the next one...
As for the rest of the weeked, I spent most of my time buying things I already have. I bought an MST3K set that had one movie I already own (but I had to have Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, even if it came with Manos, the movie I already had). Also bought the speial edition of Nellie McKay's album. The flip side of the new CD is a DVD. It came with 4 new songs. I like them all, but one is just amazing. "Glad" has made an amazing album even better. I highly recommend Miss McKay's album in whatever version you can find it in.
