Things to blog about

Here's a list of upcoming blogs - I need to write this so I don't forget:-)

1. The house - how I found it, shooting there, the neighbors, etc. - good news is, nothing damaged or broken

2. The cast

3. The Fabulous Miss Wendy

4. Shooting in Venice at night after your pertmits expire - heavy police prescence and no one bothered us - we even got spectatators watching. (we shot on 18th and speedway - we had a light on the crane of Brian's truck and two lights on the street, I for sure thought we would get shut down, we wre there until about 1am and our permit expired at 10pm.

5. Shooting on the beach - I will tell you that the end scene was magical - we shot during magic hour, I got to yell CUT as the sun set behind the Santa Monica mountains - It was Ona's close up and we had about 1 minute to get all her dialogue - I almost cried because her eyes welled up as she delivered those line. The chemistry between her and David is just amazing.

6. Justin's haircut - LOL, I shouldn't laugh, but I do think it's hysterical. His hair is long and spiky in Christine's and Laura's and super short on mine, the middle story. I added a line in the script to acknowledge that he got a hair cut.

7. The Process of getting it all together

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?
