Tails

“Tails” refers to the tail slate, the clap at the end of a take when things get flipped around—and this blog is just that: a flipped-around peek behind the scenes of my second feature.

Filming went much better today. We made our day, grabbed the scene we didn’t get yesterday, and I came up with a new scene on the spot that we were able to jump outside to film. My creative problem solving flowed much better today.

We’ve made some schedule changes that the location definitely hates. Helping to coordinate a production is clearly wearing down on them. Our novelty is gone.

My crew is amazing. I’m so spoiled to not have to wear as many hats on production as I have in the past. I have so much more time to focus on the directing part of filmmaking. It’s incredible.

I miss my daughter a lot. But I know she’s in good hands and having an amazing time with family. She gives the best, most sincere hugs.

I’m anxious to figure out my score soon. I have a lot of needle drop song ideas that I’ll never be able to afford. Trying to figure out what unites them all.
