life
Just working out the ending for the film. In editing I discovered a need for a quick scene between Casey and Faith that we're shooting tomorrow (Sunday). Then, it's time to get serious about finishing this film.
Music, sound, ADR, colour correction, and the occasional new shot. I'd love to have the film finished by the end of August, but that probably isn't realistic.
Perhaps a screening version to show to a select group of tastemakers and intelligentsia. That sounds right.

WHEN LIFE WAS GOOD
Started in May? Wow.
It's hard to keep everything straight...the amount of writing for a film that features 90% improvised dialogue is...pretty crazy. The writing continues, but is now pretty much connecting things that have been left somewhat disconnected. Plot points that are clear to the cast and director are completely lost to the viewer (due to implication or omission on my part).
Sitting down with an impartial audience of one or two trusted viewers is essential. I'm thinking about asking a few really cool watchers, but I'm not sure how that's going to work. I'm hoping for a Canadian acting genius, a hilarious standup comedian and a brilliant Canadian novelist. Along with a few bottles of French red wine and the cast.
A When Life Was Good summit.
I'm going to rent a cool space and do it, next week, after I shoot and edit the next few pickups and the last theatre scene on Tuesday.
