We begin our production one week from tonight! That is very exciting and a little scary/intimidating as well. We are wrapping up our final location permissions, gear needs, craft service menus, and too many other assorted details to mention. I am looking forward to actually have pre-production behind us and be in the thick of things. There are ALWAYS going to be challenges and problems, I’ve done enough productions to know that, but so far I feel really good about the prep that we’ve done. That at least eases my mind a little. Nothing worse than not being prepared and then getting screwed on set.

We’re shooting on the RED camera which is presenting it’s own technical issues, but I think the image quality is going to be worth it in the long run. This will be the closest we’ve ever shot to 35mm and that is beyond cool. Especially since we get to use DULUTH as a beautiful backdrop. I can’t wait to show off my beautiful home to the world. That plus a funny-heart-wrenching-film…we’re going to have a winner.

Just a reminder that we have a CREW CALL tomorrow at noon. Let me know if you’d like to participate and I’ll give you the particulars.
