People are tired, real tired … feels like this shoot could go on for 3000 day’s. We’re on day something of a schedule that is ever changing and getting longer and longer as we speak. Originally suppose to wrap tomorrow on my birthday, we’re now wrapping tentatively on the 17th of June (my countries national day). At the same time I am now starting the process of a rough cut since I’ve put myself a deadline of a rough cut by the end of June. My life is now starting to feel like “All That Jazz” and I’ll by having nightmares about Jessica Lange before I know it, so far sadly I’ve just been having weird dreams about Chris Loton. Oh and I did have my first “storming off the set” moment the other day, it involved Carlos Ottery our main actor and it belongs to one of the quotes of the day :
