Trials of Error

So I had my production meeting today.

I'm the producer of an independent short film called "My Struggle." I can't tell you the synopsis because, frankly, I don't trust everybody that goes on the internet and I don't want the story idea stolen before we finish shooting :p

Anyway- we're at this meeting, not hurting anybody, when we get bad news. Lots of it. Lined up just for us. Lets see...hmm- where do I start? Um- my assistant producer quit stating 'homesickness' and went back to St. Lucia, our production designer quit for personal reasons, our AD (the best one ever by the way) can't be our AD anymore because he got a full time job at a tv station, our gaffer moved back to Venezuela, and our costume designer is stuck in the caribbean because her visa got revoked. Ha! Good one Destiny! Thanks a whole f*in lot!

Seriously-you should have seen our faces when we found out.

what a riot

So anyway... production has YET AGAIN been postponed. We can't go on without these people- these positions are the cement that make the foundation. You can't make a movie without them, and now (on the eve of rehearsals) we have to scramble to get second best.

*sigh* But that's okay. I went home and excersized and now I feel a lot better. Punching air during Billy Blanks' yells of motivation really can take the stress out of a person. I mean, if I can live in this world as an independent woman who can do 50 butt clenches while doing a high kick- how can I NOT be happy? Billy Blanks deserves some major ice cream cake for my happiness.

so anyway...

Oh yeah! Remind me tomorrow to tell you something I found out today that I can't tell you until tomorrow. It's some of the best news ever! But it's a surprise, so shhh!

Good night ya'll. I'm going to enjoy me some R&R.
