Well, had a very productive week Chris and I met with Glen yesterday for a few hours. I met today with Liz about locations then met with Andy. Tomorrow I meet with Blake about set design and then meet with Rachael about casting. I finally got in touch with a professor of costume design; hopefully someone from theatre will help me with that. Tim Bass still hasn’t gotten back to me about the script but keeps telling me it will be soon. Anyway, here are some notes from my meetings.

Notes from meeting with Andy 1/23/08

-Plan to shoot March 1-6th then take a day off (watch dailies) then reshoot if necessary.
- We talked about insurance (may be up to $1200) for the bus and the equipment.
-We talked about the script. I think I’m going to add little touches to Lyle’s character and Winston’s too!
-He suggested I watch the endings of Donnie Darko (I love that movie) and Heavy.
-He showed me how to split my script into beats. And said I should always ask what the objective of the scene is (what does the main character want.)
- I need to figure out what the budget for camera is and give it to Chris. He gives me a wish list of grip, electric, and camera needs then we figure out what is essential and fits the budget.
- I need to write a list of the locations in order and figure out what days to do what. I also need a shot list (overheads would be great)

Places to find actors:
-Actors Anonymous (contact Tracey Kilpatrick)
-Craig’s list (esp. for actors)
-Southern casting call
