The Cast and Crew

Today I started shooting my short film 'Paroxysms of Caesars'. It was snowing when I woke up but that didn't deter me. The sky was gray and overcast- exactly how I wanted it to look when I was filming. We all gathered in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, then waited an hour and a half for Ken to show up with the equipment before we finally got to start working. Betty was a trooper and she was willing to do whatever we needed her to- including running up and down the street for blocks at a time repeatedly, getting slammed into brick walls and running thru crowded subway stations. All while wearing nothing but a short dress outside in subfreezing temperatures. Craig was amazing and gave a great performance as the very scary secret police officer chasing Betty. We were only able to work for a couple hours, as part of our cast wasn't able to be there, but I think we got some great work done. Craig and Betty had a fight scene that was vicious, dark, intense and superb. I can't wait to look at it.  Now I'm off to try and regain the feeling in my toes and elbow- holding a camera gets heavy and painful real quick.
