1001 Positively True Stories of An Indie Filmmaker

Angelo Bell's Painfully Exhilarating Adventures in Independent Filmmaking

Hump Day

Hump Day: Day Mickey-Frickey 6 – Today we are over the halfway mark in shooting the Resurrection of Serious Rogers. Mercedes and Jamie were on set again today to shoot more of what I call, the interrogation scene. Do you remember Verbal Kent, from The Usual Suspects? ‘Nuff said.

I’m not 100% sure but I think we’ve caught up to the original scheduling plan, even though we had a very short day on Sunday. Jim has been jamming on the lighting setups, Kevin and I lend a hand, and the actors do the damn thing.  I try to rehearse the actors before every scene for lighting, blocking (camera movement) and to fine tune reactions and emotions. But it would never work if they weren’t 99% off book. They are. And there’s a tremendous amount of fricking dialog in the script for them. Humongous. Kudos to you guys, Jamie and Mercedes!
