Yesterday we wrapped on the fifth day of production on BLACK PAPER. It's been a roller coaster so far.
Every day throws new challenges at us -- difficult lighting or camera set-ups, challenging scenes for the actors, scheduling issues -- but we're all eager to tackle those challenges with gusto. I can't tell you all how proud I am of my crew, and I'm humbled by the superb performances of my extraordinary cast. They're all great, but I have to give particular credit to my two leads -- Dana Blackstone and Jack Michael Findley -- for so skillfully bringing insight and nuance to two of the most difficult roles I've ever written.
Today we're all resting ... or at least trying to. There have been some late nights and tensions have run high more than once, but we're taking it in stride. Tomorrow, we'll be back to work and eager to finish up production on a feature film that I truly believe we will all be proud to have worked on.
