The Night Before

My next few posts are going to cover each day of production, as best as I can remember it.  I was considering blogging during production, but that didn't quite work out.  Turns out directing a film eats up a lot of your time.

The night before:

Call time was at 9am at our first location - our protagonists' house.  I had trouble sleeping the night before, so I made a Walmart run to try to calm my nerves.  I probably circled around the store 5 or 6 times, and somehow ended up buying some random last minute items I though I might need on set like clipboards, sharpies, a new wallet, and an Elmo shirt (see day 3). By the time I got home, it was probably around 1am or 2am.  We did as must prep as we could, but I couldn't get that feeling like I'm forgetting something.  I lied in bed for a while and fell asleep probably around 3am.
