The madness, excitement and the stress has crept in. We have only but a week to go before principal photography and to be honest...I am not sure where we are in terms of readiness. I love what the actors have done with their characters and the script. The rehearsals have been great, there is one crucial scene still to be done and this will clearly indicate how far these actors are willing to go with their characters. This is where trust comes into play. I've decided to give them freedom to interpret these scenes and let them flow before I give my input and from my observation they have been spot on. This is a new method of directing that I have applied. I have seen a much more natural approach in their delivery when they use their own interpretation.
So far so good but one major concern I have at the moment is the budget. Within a week to go we should have a clear indication of what we can achieve. This makes things difficult to plan and manage production. Up to this point I have used my resources and it has put me in a predicament....I cant postpone the shoot as I am working around my actors schedule, one day missed and the whole production suffers. I have faith that our financers will come through so I am looking up at the skies in anticipation of sunlight. I won't say more on this to keep my frustration in check.
I have promised some stills on the production so check the next post.
