Last Tuesday night, we had our first rehearsal with Dana Blackstone and David Gries. It was great. They both have a solid understanding of their characters. Rehearsals will continue on Monday, and this weekend I'll be meeting with John Kangas, the first assistant director, and Anthony Griffin, the director of photography, to work out the schedule for each day of production.
I finally have a location for the mental hospital. It definitely has more of a rest home vibe, and I think that's totally appropriate. There are some fun visual elements there that I'm eager to play with. I also have a good option for the art gallery now thanks to actor Bob Ford.
So now my shot list is basically locked, and we're making good progress in each department. I still need a few more crew members, but we'll get there. The IndieGoGo fundraising campaign didn't go as well as I'd hoped, but it did bring in some funds. I've also been able to raise some additional money outside of IndieGoGo. If you'd still like to contribute, please let me know, and we'll arrange something.
I can't believe we start shooting a week from Saturday. This is nuts, and I love it.
