I've seen more locations in the last week than most people (except for mailmen) see in 6 months. We have finally found the location of the main character and the synchronicity between what's been written on a page and what one finds in the world never ceases to amaze me. This farm has angles that both support what has been written and what was shot by a splinter unit last year in a different state. The level of detail (which I'll spare my single reader) in which this location works is astonishing. It's now up to our producer to convince the owners to upend their lives for 3 weeks. Good Luck Carissa!
Still no word on our "big fish" actor but at least we have a location to shoot the other half, well, 1/4 , actually 1/6 of the cast.
Last night I had to mediate a conflict between my nearly teen daughter and my wife. I was on the phone until 12:30 am. We all found peace and the storm passed. That is both the blessing and curse in being away. I miss my life and the process of seeing my kids evolve but my perspective by being away also lends a "crows nest" perspective to the situation and from that vantage point I can see clearly without the turbulence of emotions. It does get lonely up here sometimes though.Adulthood is kidnapping my daughter and we can't help at all.
My wife is on the front lines and God bless her for that. I am performing a duty by working but I LOVE it as well. Imagine if ice cream and french fries were the healthiest food you could eat, that's sort of it.
Lastly, today we start to devise a way to shoot the football scenes. We have a magnetic football board and a macro lens, and they call this a job?
All the guys I'm working with play basketball as well, there's a court at our hotel.
More from "Camp Bromance" later.
You're the best of the best. A crow's nest perspective is sometimes just what a crisis needs. Know that you are in the right place at the right time. Great writing!
