Getting Ready for Round II

The past couple days have been chock-full of activity, or should I say, trying to fix issues that never seem to stop coming at us. All I can say is, last minute surprises are good for kids but very bad for production. Fortunately, we got some of the critical issues resolved, and are moving forward with our next round of production, to commence on Sunday.

This Sunday we will be shooting the office scenes. We will not be dealing with a big space like the Cerritos Swim Center, nor will there be water involved. I am hoping we will be able to go quickly. Both Lucy and I have scenes to direct, so we will be splitting our day.

We still have a couple of big scenes remaining, such as the big club day and the "Silverlake" party. Laura and Jenna have been tasked with finding enough extras to fill the space for those days. We have to factor in the high flake factor. This coming week will be challenging.

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?

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?
