Almost There

OMG! I can't believe it's finally here; permits and insurance papaers checked; equipment rented, check; actors avaialble, check; locations, checked; rocking crew, check.......

Somehow I've gotten this together, don't know how but Tuesday I was freaking out when I realized how much there was left to do; did I mention that I'm also wrapping up my job of the last 5 years. Today was my last day at work and Sunday is my first day of production.

So many changes all coming so fast, it's like I have no say in it, I'm trying to move at the same speed as my circumstances.

I am exhausted and I have so much to do tomorrow but I'm in capable hands; my boys are back, Brian, Casey, Frederick and my DP Matthew; then there's my actors, I'm so blessed to have such a talented and beautiful cast, and then ofcourse there's Lynn, my craigslist find and the best God send I could have. Lastly, there's Christine and Laura - I can't believe it's here!

We have a great costume designer that Laura found on Craigslist, her name is Natasha and she is a super pro. She is a super talented designer and her participation will help make the project better. I've come to realize that Craigslist is not just a place for trolls to hook up, you can actually find super cool people who want to work!

I am way too exhausted to finsh this. I'll keep you all updated.

xxoxo,

Lucy

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?
