Burning The Midnight Oil

Today, I spent the whole day working on the film. Woke up at 8:30am and went location scouting with Leah and Onahoua. We went to this amazing photo studio/loft in Lincoln Heights, it's one of the best locations I found. Leah and I were there last night but we needed to see the place during the day. Kevin, the photographer who owns the studio let us hang out there for about an hour. We were coming up with shots, and having a great time. Onahoua and I took turns with the video camera documenting the journey. Then it was four, back to back meetings and at the end of the night I met up with Leah again to go over a few things for tomorrow's day of meetings. I got home at 12:15am!

I'm tired. I haven't had a day off in weeks. The last two weeks, I've been working 9-5 and then traffic and then movie meetings. Tomorrow my first meeting is at 12pm.What are the chances that I'll wake up early and go on a hike?

We are trying to rework the schedule. We are now acting as our own producer, line producer, location manager, and I'm sure a few other things that I can't think of because I am too tired. What happened to the directing aspect of this thing?

The next film I direct, I will have a producer, a casting director and INVESTORS. I will not attempt this thing again w/out $$.

About The Three Shorts

Christine Le wrote and directed the 1st story Love 10 to 1.
The first story explores the life of a 29-year-old virgin, Jenny, who desperately wants to lose her virginity before her 30th birthday. As she encounters one loser after another on dates, Jenny pines after her boss, Dustin. While at her grandmother’s retirement home, Jenny learns a powerful lesson from her grandmother about sex and the meaning of life.

Lucy Rodriguez wrote and directed Love Song.
The second story revolves around Shane, the lead singer of the L.A. rock band, Dirty Virgin. Shane has her pick of admirers but it’s her roommate Dustin she wants to be with. Shane confesses her feelings on Jackie and Jared’s show but when Dustin meets Cali, Shane’s shot at love starts to dwindle. With Dirty Virgin about to embark on a world tour, will Dustin realize that he’s the object of Shane’s affections? Will they risk their friendship to give this Love Song a chance?


Lucy Rodriguez & David Villar (Dustin)

Laura Somers wrote and directed Diving Lessons.
The final story picks up where Love 10 to 1 left off, but from the perspective of Jim, the guitarist of Dirty Virgin. Jim sees Jenny at a swimming pool, trying desperately to overcome her fear of diving. In fact, he finds out that she’s making a list of everything that she’s afraid of and trying to overcome them, one by one. He is instantly smitten and tries to convince her that he’s not just a rock star who ‘loves ‘em and leaves ‘em’. Can a rock star find love with a virgin?
