Production Crazy

Hey guys,
So I've been working on a lot of movies and also not working on movies. Today I am working on the set of a short film called 'Cupid' as a make up artist so my job ended a while ago. I dab the actress every now and then with a tissue and the set continues.
I like working on different sets as various positions because I learn so much a out what it's like to be treated as each role by the director and crew. Of course it's also nice to lay back and watch how everyone else treats each other.
I'm a director so treatment amongst the cast and crew is essential for me. If someone (especially the talent) is t happy, then neither am I. Not always a good tactic but, hey, I'm learning.
I don't have very many pictures from the production today but I have some from the feature film I am working on in Petaluma. It is a horror film about a teenage who is bullied all of the time and after a prank goes too far she gets revenge on the girls who played the prank. The movie is called 'Miserable Marnie and the Shut In'. The cast and crew are great and I have a lot of fun on the set, there's always something to do. And I also met a new friend who has a very similar vision as I do for a script that I wrote at the beginning of this year. It's in a working title mode but it is called 'April and Junip' for now.
It's about teenage girls who are BFF in a small town and visit the local dump everyday. One of these days they find a trunk full of journals written by a girl in the 1980s. They start to realize that their lives aren't as monotonous as they thought, and actually pretty cool.
We're in pre production right now and will be shooting in early July, so keep your eyes peeled for more!!! I will report on more productions as time goes on. I feel like its a really great way to learn film making online since working with people is not something you learn very easily. God, I'm such a manners bitch haha
Welcome!!!
