The Car

You know why I haven't posted in so long? It's taken me this long to reschedule. Every time I go to shoot, it rains. In the middle of a drought, it rains. In fact, in rained when I was going to shoot this Tuesday, so I rescheduled the car shoot for Wednesday. It went really well. The actors were fantastic, so much so that everyone kept asking where I found these guys. It felt really good, just really fucking cold. But as I kept telling everyone, "It's not raining, so who cares if it's cold?"

Getting the car was quite the debacle. First, the car I had lined up for free broke down. Then the guy who provides cars for movies flaked. Then I saw a great car outside the Earl, but no one knew whose it was. So they told me to talk to John at the drive-in. So I go to his house, tell him what is going on, and lets me, a complete stranger into his house, and calls some friends. No go on a car from them. So now I am riding down the street, and I see this great car. My roommate, Victoria, asks me if she wants me to catch him. I say yes and it was the slowest car chase in the world. We are two cars behind him at the stoplight, so I get out of the car and bang on his window. He then opens the car door and tells me to get in, so I do. I tell him what was going on and he agreed to let me film his car.

It was a great shoot.
