Burning the candle at four ends
So we had our rehearsals today. Well first last night as I was going over my notes making sure I had everything taking care of my sister called who I have not seen in 4 or 5 years she said she would be by around 1 or 2 AM. So I stopped the rehearsal notes and went into sister coming over mode at midnight I pass out and then wake up at 2:30AM. We caught up on everything and she left at 6. I then proceeded to make some script changes hop in the shower print everything off run to the story get some grapes, bananas, Juice and swirly chocolate bread for the actors. Tatiana was there but Brian wasnt. Turns out he was a victim of an email cc error on my part so he never recieved the time or place. At the time I didnt know that so I called left him a message then called the next actor we were interested in the part. This may seem rash but I have had no call no shows before. I want to be clear though that Brian would have been there I in my crazy rush did not confirm that my CC worked correctly. At any rate. Dennis Bam was there. The script for anthony's part was weak at best but by the end of the rehearsal between Tatiana, Dennis and I we brought a very interesting, internally puzzling charecter together in Anthony. I think this will be a very interesting Charecter. A story about a banshee is one thing but a story about a banshee and a charecter you care about is something else entirely. Before today you really didnt care about Anthony that is the charecter that Dennis plays.
So I am home now it is 5:30 I have since hopefully explianed what must have happened to Brian. Because this shoot is so time sensitive and so improvisationally put together, I'm sticking with Dennis. Oh man you should have been there when he read the opening poem it was chilling. For a two page script I think this is going to be contender. There is a lot of meat for 2 minutes of material. I should sleep but our friend is up for her birthday and her and my wife our out on the town for the night. Her friends children are up so I must host a plethora of children for many hours to come. I will sleep tomorrow.
