Best foot forward

just a shot of the band that I took from my iphone. there is dramatic beauty that haunts me from every angle, I can't even go 10-1 without seeing things to shoot.

(this is called the time tunnel rig, it is of my own design and hopefully, without going into details it will capture an aspect of football that hasn't been seen before) please send all good vibes my way so that we pull it off)

What an amazing week, there is so much to recap but I just give you the highlights. Everyone was on edge last weekend because Kurt Russell had landed and we all had to get past our wonkiness and convince him that we indeed professional and worthy of his experience. On Sunday morning, Kurt called our director, Don and asked for a last minute script meeting. So, in a hurry Don grabbed some jeans that were drying on the shower head in his bathroom, excitedly, he pulled too hard and the entire shower head came off and water started gushing out and it flooded his room and the two of the rooms that were adjacent.The fire alarms went off because the the water shorted some of the electricity. Don, still trying to make his meeting on time had too find some dry clothes, the only ones available were the pink pajamas and the half t-shirt that his wife was a wearing. Don showed up too Kurts hotel room, the luxury suite, through security wearing his wife's pajamas. Kurt, the producers, everyone howled with laughter. The ice was broken and we had a stellar week. We shot locker room scenes that will make grown men weep and football action that will tickle the hair on the back of any sports fan. We also had Barry Sanders in a few scenes as the opposing coach, what a sweet man. He also signed a football for me.
The aspect of our experience that is most rewarding is the entire town of Grand Rapids is behind us. We have thousands of extras who show up for free to fill the stands and the soy bean fields. We have been in the paper or on the news everyday. Wherever I go in town, people know that I'm part of the film and they are so nice. I'm moist eyed while writing this but our film is about community, the kind of community that Frank Capra captured. We have 2 weeks left and I really feel that we are on the verge of creating magic. I wish that I could post stills of our actors but you all have to wait for the film. 2 more weeks!!!
