Three weeks today we’ll be our first day of principal photography according to the current schedule. Just in the midst of locking that down so everyone can adjust their calendars and be on the same page.
This is my least favorite part of the whole process. Creating the shooting schedule. For the most part you need to try and group the actor’s scenes together so you’re not holding them up. It’s normal to shoot out of order, but at the same time there’s just certain scenes you don’t want to start off with, and others you don’t want to hold off. I think especially for a film like this it’s important to start off with scenes in which you can establish tone and then go from there. Hopefully by this time next week we’ll have a much better idea of how close we are to a realistic shooting schedule.
So last week we spent a few days doing auditions. I have to say that I’m blown away by how many amazing actors there are in this city. While some were just not right for what we wanted, there wasn’t a bad actor in the 50+ performers we saw. On Tuesday we’ll start making offers on a bunch of parts. Some we’re still deciding on, but hopefully through-out this week I’ll have some more casting announcements to make. We’re holding another round of auditions this week for a few smaller parts and that should round off the rest of what we need. In a perfect world we’ll be fully cast with a week to spare in pre-production.
