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.

I think today went well. We didn’t quite get everything we need.

It does feel like we’re tiptoeing around the school to not anger them further. And people in different buildings seem confused and surprised when we show up to film even though we’ve been told that everyone has been notified. It’s not fun to not feel welcome when you’re paying a place money to be there.

My crew continues to kick ass. It’s insane how many people are running around trying to fulfill my weird wishes and crazy ideas. It feels like playing God sometimes. No wonder a lot of directors are entitled assholes.

Still need to cast a major role. I thought I knew who I wanted but then I had a long and amazing zoom call with another actor and now I’m not sure what I want.

There are a few other big supporting roles I thought I had cast but I haven’t seen their deals close yet.

I always feel like I’m forgetting something. And sometimes I am.
