Securing Locations

Now that we were able to secure another location for FREE, I've finally gotten around to interviewing for some of the other critical positions, including a sound person, production designer and script supervisor. I asked a friend who's an indie producer for referrals, and he gave me several names. Funny thing is, I called up this sound guy and it turns out that he knows our DP! Small world indeed. She thinks he's a kick ass sound guy, and he thinks she's a kick ass DP. So we're crossing our fingers that he'll come on board as our sound person.

Also interviewed a couple of production designers. One quoted us a fairly high daily rate (high for us, that is), and said she wouldn't work for less. The other one said that he only works on projects he believes in, and for those projects, he'll make it manageable for us. This is what I love about indie filmmaking: meeting the people who believe in our project, and are willing to do what it takes to make it work. Meeting people who are passionate about your project is so important. Perhaps that's an idealistic thing to expect, but I can't imagine doing this without having passion for the project.

Hopefully, both guys will come on board and work with us. Yeah, testosterone coming in, but I think that's a good thing. :)
