Yesterday was the last day of principle photography.
It's been a roller-coaster ride but we have it in the can!
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the wealth of talent and enthusiasm they brought to our production. We have a very unique film sitting in about 80 canisters waiting to be edited. Looking back for a moment over the turbulence since December 8th when I first called, "Action!" and even farther back in time to all of the storm and stress of arranging locations, cast, crew and equipment... scheduling... I've definitely grown many more gray hairs than I had two years ago, but it was all worth it, no question asked. We had a great script which kept us going.
Now, would I do some things differently had I to do it over? Of course, some things could have gone a lot smoother. But I will say this of the experience: shooting film is an incredible rush and I will use this format until the last roll on the planet has been exposed.

To be sure, there were ups and downs, stress and creativity; but there were no injuries beyond a couple of small cuts and bruised egos, no equipment mishaps beyond a Fresnel that broke and a few bulbs that popped... In all, it was a fantastic success.
Thanks to everyone who was involved!
