Actors=Stress

Today was the first day of principal photography for my student film, BAC. The film follows 3 girls as they skip school and go off to drink. It's for an anti-alcohol project in Life Skills, and I'm pretty excited to show it to my class. We're working on a script I wrote in 30 minutes, and a budget of no more than about $7. I'm ready!

The hardest part of the whole thing isn't writing, or even filming it. It's working with the actors! I love all the people involved, but Jesus H. Christ, they can't focus for one second! Except for Tyra, who actually does what she has to do. And for that, I thank her. It honestly took us like 30 minutes to film 1/2 of a page. But I know that tomorrow's shoot will be much. Smoother! Right? I sincerely hope so.

Also, on another non-related note, my birthday party is Sunday (Whoo!). It's gonna be crazy. Like, it's going to be a fiasco. Me and Simon's band are playing there as well. We've gone through one last and final name change, to Street Clothed. That is the LAST time we change our name. I promise. It's going to be the best show ever though, we promise. If you need the information for the party and you haven't already gotten it, let me know. Gracias.

I don't really have much else to write about, except the fact that popsicles are delicious. Kidding, I actually have the rest of the month already planned out, but right now, I'm kind of in that "in between" part of the week where absolutely nothing is happening. So let me give you a little sneak peak into the month of December.

1. An interview with actress Dania Ramirez

2. A mini "photo gallery" and writing on photographer Diana Diaz

3. Winter Break stories

4. Birthday party story

5. Interview with Joe Durand: Harvard Freshman

6. And anything else I can think of :)

I'll think of some fun stuff, don't worry.
