The Blunt Diaries

These are some pics from our rehearsal on December 8, 2008.

A new project has been long overdue, its been almost eight months since the brethren and I worked on a short, not that this is a short, well it could be, but then again I don’t really know what to call this project.  It’s a hybrid of sorts. This can either work as a pilot or potentially as a feature depending on what happens in post.

The screenplay was written by yours truly and I’m also at the helm. The characters have really come to life throughout the rehearsal process, the cast seems to be comfortable in their own skin, and we’ve established that solidarity that I longed for since the beginning. You see yall this is an ensemble piece in which every character is equally vital to the overall atmosphere.

We’ve rehearsed for almost two months now, I’d say we’re as ready as we’re going to be without having the actors become to mechanical. Some of cinema’s golden gems have come about accidentally, I still want that spontaneity, that element of surprise is what gives a realistic performance.

I’m fucking blessed to have such a wonderful cast, and my partner who is also producing and assisting me in directing. Things got off to murky start, but everything seems to be on the up and up right now. An old friend of mine has assumed his position as DP and all seems right with the world.  For now…
