Saturday is almost here

So tonight we shot 2 scenes from my short.

They went really well.

I got to do a Pretty Woman "big mistake" type monologue.

I really had a great time.

What i learned is that i need to be SUPER prepared for Saturday.

That way I can just focus on being an actor and make sure that my crew knows what I need so they can do their jobs with ease and grace.

So I am taking tomorrow off. 

I gave up a shift today - I am just needing whatever time I can get to put this all together!

I just sent out the big email.

Call times - wardrobe, etc.

I shared tonight that this is really a dream come true for me.

To create something and shoot it - 

I used to shoot sketches all the time - but this is a short!  Not a sketch!

And I am really doing it.

With a team of highly creative people!

What a joy.

Duffy helped me punch up the script.

That's what they call it in the fancy screenwriting world.

And I am so proud of it.

It really is incredible.

And I can see how it can become it's own little series.

So - send a shout out to LOGO.

This is perfect for them!

I also realized I curse a lot.

I watched some of the footage.

Sorry Dad!

I will do what I can to contain that!

I am supposed to be in bed, but I can't sleep.

I am making my list of all the things I need to do tomorrow.

INSANE!

I haven't been drinking for the last month.

It has been so nice.

Not that I ever drank in excess, but I would enjoy a glass of wine with dinner. 

What a difference that has made in my life.

But I think on Sunday - I am going to have a cocktail!

On Monday the final version of Tumble Dry, Daniel's short is due.

We are missing a few insert shots, but all in all I think it is in a good spot.

I am excited to share that one with everyone.

Last night, Alli Josephine and I hung out for a little bit and talked about some other ideas for shorts. Hopefully they will both be inspired to work with me on them when this is done. They are "Serious" which is a huge change for me.  It is so exciting to have my brain working this way.

I feel more alive now than I have in SO LONG.

I got trapped in the LA world of survival, and I am now starting to breathe again.  

My mind is flooded with new ideas - scripts - shots -

I am becoming obsessed with shots.

It looks like I will be the DP for Alli's shoot, so I am stoked about that!  She has some cool shots in mind, and I know I can deliver.

Thank God for Josephine for creating this program.

My life is changing so dramatically.

We've been at it for 17 days.

Less that 3 weeks.

And I am a different person than I was 3 weeks ago.
