T-minus 5 days...

We're into single digits in the countdown to our first shooting day. WHAT?!
No worries there's only about 80 billion things left to do between now and then. Including but not limited to:
- contracts and deal memos
- equipment acquisition (beg, borrow, rent)
- shot lists
- procuring the remaining props/costumes
- acquiring enough people to accomplish everything on shooting day (anyone want to help? turns out I only have two hands)
- call sheets


The list goes on and on.....


I'm incredibly lucky to have a remarkably talented, efficient and dedicated production team surrounding me. Bonus: we all have complementary talents and trust each other to get sh!t done in our own departments but allow and even welcome contributions and suggestions. Amazing, right? How often does that happen?


I just wish we had the time to sit in a room together as a group to coordinate and communicate because we're all multi-tasking 100% of the time and I'm never sure I have all the information I need to proceed. I think between the four of us we have twelve paying jobs and a multitude of other commitments.


I also have to learn my lines. Yikes! Luckily, I'm essentially myself and I wrote most of the lines so that should help but that is also going to make it more embarrassing if I mess up. Seriously, can't you picture it. Trish, the Head Writer, playing Tess, her alter-ego, can't remember and spit out her own thoughts. Can't wait... No pressure.


Did I mention I'm excited? Like can't sleep, it feels like Christmas Eve, excited? I've been dreaming about filming. Some dreams better than others, I'll admit. But I seriously can't wait to be back on set. We're a small crew and normally a pretty small cast, minus one day of shooting with 27 people, so it should move swiftly and efficiently. I just have to realize that things will go awry. I can't control everything and all I can do is hope I prepared enough and can make the right adjustments.


Can't. Freaking. Wait.
