And no one has died.
We did it! Day one of filming wrapped yesterday and we’ve got some really great stuff. No film set is not without its challenges, and we had several. We started an hour late (as one does), so we were counting every second of every take. Andrew yelling “Action” seemed to cue both our actors to act and also large tractor trailers to downshift on the highway right outside. Our script supervisor had her car towed. And I forgot to bring Sriracha. But fortunately, our talented and mostly professional crew persevered.
But in all seriousness, everyone absolutely crushed it yesterday. The set looked fantastic, the angels were lit beautifully, and the actors did everything we asked of them and more. We knew they were talented from the auditions, but we were blown away watching them on camera. If they didn’t get it in one, they got it in two (and thank God for that. Timing was tiiiggghhhttttt).
Let’s hope that holds, because we’re back at it again this morning. Our second and final shoot day begins now...ish.
Cross your fingers and break your legs for us.
