Two Departures

The last two shooting days have seen the final scenes for both Rod Duncan and Sandra Wildebore ( alias Frank and Mary ). Both gave up their free time for the project and invested energy and enthusiasm into the film as well as considerable talent. Many thanks from myself and all behind the ZU project.

By the way you have to check out Rod’s novels and his informative blog which centers on the craft of writing.

Day 08 Runthrough

Had an awesome script runthrough tonight for Day 08. Day 08 is a 6 character/6 page dialog shoot so a practice for this was essential. A few tweaks were made as the actors and myself felt how the characters would talk and act. No major changes but the actors have to be happy in delivering the words they say. Overall an enjoyable and valuable process which we shall use again on dialog heavy scenes which will save us valuable time on shooting days.

New camera op Dave Sinclair came and recorded the evening. When we get time we’ll bang those on a behind the scenes. Big thanks to all who came late in the evening, especially to Sarah who read Ruth’s part and stood in at late notice!

Actor Needed

As the shoot progresses Zombie Undead is in need of another actor. The role is Phil a 20-30 year old male who is out for himself, doing what he can to look after number one. Any ethnicity and look.

Daniel Day Lewis

Kris was conjuring the spirit of DDL for his performance as Jay on the last days shoot, sneaking off for a bit of Gangs on his beloved iPhone. On his recommendation i just watched There Will Be Blood. A good film made awesome by DDL’s performance. Simply stunning.
