It has been over a year since I've been a director. in that time I've worn many hats: Intern, PA, Key PA, 2nd 2nd AD (ironically called thus because 3rd AD sounds too similar to turd AD. I shit you not....pun intended), professional editor, and high school basketball coach. Starting friday I will be back in the director's chair.
This is what its all about: the process. Writing the script, late night. The monitor glow is the only thing that illuminates handwritten notes. Revisions, focus group readings. Then finding someone who believes in your project, and you, enough to want to make the words into a film. Then the long arduous road of pre-production. Casting, finding locations, greasing palms. But all of that is almost done and Friday we start filming, for better or worse.
I just hope I stay sane long enough to see it....
