Preproduction - Day 5

Today was a very busy day for casting. I spent all afternoon (about 5 hours) with them rolling camera while they read callbacks. All the major roles were auditioned as well as a few of the minor roles. David Nixon, Sandra Thrift (the main script editor) and Bob Scott (the director of photography) sat in and it was really interesting to hear their feedback and even give my own opinion on a few actors. It was a pretty successful day overall and resulted in at least one definite casting and a few close ones. These are all professional actors (as opposed to the volunteer actors in Fireproof) so the talent will be really good for this film.

Tomorrow we're going to come in and paint some of the rooms downstairs. The soundstage looks like it hasn't been painted or renovated since the 90s and the producers don't want investors and such to see all that. There's also a script meeting going on tonight so a final draft should be ready for next week. I think Monday we're going to scout a Post Office for some scenes and maybe a few other locations.

Check back for more!
