Another couple of shooting days in the books.

Spent the night shooting, logging, and editing instead of attending red carpet events and parties for VIFF. I’m hoping to get out a bit tomorrow!

We’ve been shooting a lot of “Pathos” lately, having tackled most of the overtly funny stuff early on, however, even within the dramatic part of the story, I’m trying to “sprinkle” a few laughs, every now and then. Priscilla brought some funny stuff last night and today!

It’s a comedy, but, just like the first film, I think we need to experience something of the drama of relationships. I think the comedy is bigger and better here, and the characters and relationships more complex. This is all assuming that I can handle the ridiculously large amount of footage!

Even with all of this footage, some scenes just don’t have enough coverage (or light) and some scenes have way too much footage (and light). But that’s making movies!

Kelly is really supportive and keeping the doggies fed and happy at home.

Kristine is really doing a great job (as an actor and producer).

Casey continues to deliver the goods.

Gaelle continues to be French.

We’re making a movie!

Also, Gaelle is amazing!

LESLI BROWNLEE is ALISON

On my way to set. Just finished loading the footage from last night (it’s 9:30am). The batteries are half-charged.

CRAZY DAYS!

Will post more later tonight.
