So one more day before our first day of production. I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn't fall back to sleep. My dogs were by my side, snoring. I thought, I wish I was a dog. After all this is over, I will post my top 5 lessons from this production. For now, here is my list of top five things that I could be doing with the $$ I'm blowing, I mean, investing, in this production:
5. Use it as down payment for a house. Oops, this is L.A., I mean, use it to pay my rent.
4. Get botox shots. Heck, I wouldn't have all these premature aging lines if it wasn't for this film!
3. Travel around the world, meet interesting people, experience different cultures, have fun rather than a constant foreboding feeling that I will never be able to pay off my debts.
2. Pay Ceasar Milan to whisper to my dogs. Maybe they'll stop snoring.
AND FINALLY...
1. Get therapy to determine exactly why I'm doing this instead of #2-5 above.
Thank goodness Jenna came on board. We are crossing our fingers that this weekend will go smoothly. Note to all indie filmmakers: don't ever write a scene where water is involved. It will cost at least twice as much. Happened to James Cameron on Titanic, and happened to us here. In fact, don't even have any of your characters drink water.

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?
