It's been a little while since my last post as there hasn't been much going on, last week especially. However, things are really picking up this week as we prepare to begin principal photography this coming Wednesday.
I had been working with the AD department but I've now moved into casting. AD didn't have much for me to do and I'm pretty unfamiliar with the casting process so I feel it's a positive move for me. This will also allow me to further explore any acting opportunities I might have. The casting department is a fun crowd so I'm excited to be working with them.
Patrick Doughtie, the father of Tyler and the author of the original script, came down yesterday and will stay with us for the duration of the shoot. The story we're shooting is 90% fiction but is based on Tyler's personality and includes a few real life characters. Patrick himself is not featured as a character in the film, but he wrote the role of Maddy (Tyler's single mother) with his experience in mind. He's a really nice guy and is totally devoted to the film and its message. He told us how he shopped the script around to a few big Hollywood studios, even turning down a $5 million budget at one point since they wanted to change the story and message.
Check back later today for more updates. From here on out I should be posting every day.
