Coming Back
TUESDAY, MAY 27: While sleeping, I expected to have nightmares about yesterday's rehearsals, but instead I had nightmares about putting together a shotlist for Leland, which is what I had to do that morning. At least my nightmares are forward-looking.
So I woke up and started putting together all the shots Leland had done the day before into a Final Cut timeline so I could see how the scenes flowed visually with a 3 camera setup. And they were pretty good. Didn't take me more than a couple of hours, and then I emailed the sequence back to Leland.
Checked in with Will, who was now undertaking a massive endeavor to coordinate 50 extras over the two day shooting schedule. Earlier we had mapped out just how many extras we would need for each scene, and the general time frames for shooting each scene -- so now we could email them and confirm their availability for the timeslots we had in mind.
In the afternoon I went to Karin's apartment where we were holding rehearsals. Unfortunately things didn't go as planned at first -- due to an unfortunate set of circumstances I found myself suddenly having to recast the role of Davis. In the meantime I worked with Gabrielle on her role and then when Kevin J came in they worked on their scene together. Then Arnold Kim came in to do his scene with Kevin J -- they had a good moment, it was really the first time that I saw any two of my actors really connect.
I felt good coming out of the rehearsal -- hopped the 6 train to meet Leland in the East Village to go over the shotlist I had done that morning. We both seemed to be in solid agreement over it, and after an hour of looking it over we then hung out and had dinner together -- first time I had actually hung out with anyone in a long time without an agenda in front of us.
Came home late and tired but somewhat satisfied... then I got a call from a person who I had in mind to take the part of Davis and he said he was way too sick to do it, but he'd put me in touch with others. And then the satisfied feeling started sinking back to dread -- whoever we'd get to do this would have three days to get ready for the second most important part in the movie. Impossible?
