Day 9

It has been a bad day. It is pretty ugly outside, with completely overcast skies and lots of sprinkles, scattered thunderstorms are on the way, and all of our shots scheduled are outdoors. I did have cover sets, but one of our main actresses, Sherri, needs to get back to Dallas this afternoon so she can work.

Ashley (aka Amanda) had a car wreck on the way to our location today as well. She is ok, just shaken up, and the car is totalled.

We cancelled the shots we had planned, and are trying to go ahead and get at least two of them done today, which don't involve her. Other than that, Russ was really pissed off when we got back to his house, not because we cancelled today, but because he feels things are pretty disorganized, and he could be using this time to edit his own short.

I don't think we are too disorganized, but not everyone is keeping focus. Last night, Robin and Russ spent an hour shooting someone sleeping. The tension is really high right now.

Anyway, Russ is in a better mood now, and invited me out to dinner with him tonight, to meet up with another filmmaker he says he admires a lot, Richard Bosse. I'd enjoy it, although I think we will be working late. Not into the morning, but too late for dinner.
