I wouldn’t miss this for the world.
Probably 30 college students and freshly graduated moving through our home, carrying equipment and boxes, snacks, a coffee pot, a twin bed, make-up, costumes, lighting...and everything they need for making our house look like their script, to feed the cast and crew all day, and they have two trucks and all their cars out front. One of the trucks is the generator, so they don't use our electricity. They got “no parking 8:00am-10:00pm” signs from the city. Very impressive.
Just talked to a first year female student who wants to be a director when she “grows up.” They are all so cute and working so hard on so many things that it takes to shoot a 30-minute film! Crazy. I love this stuff. The young actor said they were shooting until 12:30 last night (this morning). He is in 7th grade and chose not to homeschool. He said Algebra is very hard — that’s cute; proud that he was in algebra this year, yet humble enough to admit he thinks it is hard.
OK, back to my GVCS tasks -- I am working today from my little corner office. Concentrate. Concentrate. The house is full and buzzing with activity. AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING — except Sam who is loving it, now that he got his barks out and sniffed everyone. He is relaxed on his “blanket” by my desk. He is on his leash and will remain attached to my wrist — too many open doors and gates. But the real reason is... He wants to steal the scene! Ha!
It is now 11:40pm. Film crew and cast just broke for dinner??? They are mildly behind schedule. Dinner was scheduled for 9:00pm. They were planning to wrap at 1:00am...looking more like 3:00. My enthusiasm is gone.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful event to store in your memory banks. Will be glad to hear more about it as we interact at family gatherings.
ReplyDeleteFilm crew left at 4:53am and we got up to lock the doors behind them, after dozing off and on all night. Yawn! That was way too late!
