But wow. Angie Lefor came to the set today somehow knowing exactly how to do everything perfectly. It's so funny, just last week she was telling me she wasn't good, and that I would regret asking her to do it. Wow!!! All I can say... Let me pick my jaw up off the floor and try to say something: Angie hit every note perfectly. Every line, every expression, every reaction. I can't think of one thing I would have liked her to do differently. So Angie, if you're reading this, you are awesome! I'm not sugar coating anything, I promise. I've actually grown kind of ruthless in movie making (which is neccessary), so I wouldn't say that unless I meant it! Actually, you already know, you saw how crazy I was with how many takes we did sometimes. Poor Nate, he has such a hard part and we would retake and retake and retake, sometimes because he messed up, sometimes cause I messed up, sometimes to try things differently or sometimes cause we were laughing so hard. But then comes Angies line, and it's like "wow... Um... That's only one take... Okay one more for good luck and then moving on!" But a couple times today we easily passed the 25 takes barrier (Nate suspects that for one particular shot we did in excess of fifty times. Having sat through it all in the editing room, I think he's right).

SHOUT OUT TO THE CREW!
Kaleen Woods is hereby declared awesome! She and I handled every aspect of crew today, as Ron was out for his 21st Birthday (happy Birthday Ron!) and Nate was acting. She did sound, camera (some intense camera work too) and of course lights. Nothing could have happened today if it weren't for Kaleen. Well, I'm sure SOMETHING could have happened, but not much in the way of filming. We're also shooting this Tuesday in Jon Lewis' Film class, which Kaleen attends.
