Re-Writes, First Rehearsals and approvals!

So it's been quite a busy past week. First, after much hard work of sleepless nights, blood, sweat and alligator pillows (see photo of Michelle), the pre-production book was finally completed, submitted and approved. Yay! So we happily moved on from there... After getting a great deal of helpful feedback from several people, work on a re-write continued full speed ahead. Brandon moved swiftly and deftly and ended up taking the script to, ahem, "soaring" new heights.
Armed with a sharp 'n savvy brand spankin' new script, pre-prod moved full speed ahead. Today, I conducted my very first rehearsal. The young actress playing the character of "Eve" was unable to attend which was unfortunate. If I had any doubts in my mind about any of the (cast) actors, they were put to rest and then some by the time this first rehearsal let out. WOW!
It was a thrill hearing this wonderful group of actors deliver these lines. Moreover, everyone got along swimmingly and seemed to have wonderful chemistry from the get-go. I'm more excited than ever about this project and cannot wait to begin shooting next weekend. And to my ingenious co-producers and writer I say "Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb" :)
