At my house...

At my house today, I'm still unpacking from a movie shoot this week with my son. I was hired on to be the wardrobe and continuity department for his 10 minute short film for the Project Twenty 1 film festival in Philadelphia, Pa. We shot on Tuesday and Thursday, and I'm still not unpacked; I don't want to jinx it as they edit this week. Have to be ready to reshoot if needed.

Project Twenty1 is a contest for independent filmmakers from all over the world. They are given an element on day one, and they have 21 days to write, make and submit a 10 minute movie. This years' element is "between the lines" and the deadline is Aug. 21. I'm not allowed to post anything about the plot till October(!), when all the films are screened!

In the photo, Jeff is the one in gray, crouched down in the left of the picture. Handsome guy, and a good actor, too. He wrote the screenplay, from the story he and the Director, Jason (holding the Boom), wrote the day before. He is also Assistant Director on the film. No title yet.

Also in my house today, my beautiful daughter, Jennifer, Surgical Nurse, turned 29 today! 
But, with her schedule, I didn't even get to see her for this birthday. Evidently, seeing Sir Paul McCartney is more important tonight then coming home. 
Hmmm, I probably would have made the same choice, if it were Rick Springfield.
 Happy birthday, Jenny!

Thanks for joining in this week Mary. Lovely to have you. Your son's film looks very professional. I hope it all works out really well. Happy Birthday to your daughter as well - Sir Paul is a very cool birthday option. Lou.
