1. One can function on only 3 shots of espresso from 6:30 in the morning till 2:45 in the afternoon. Is it advised? Absolutely not.
2. Never, never, never give up. But if all else fails, bring in a mattress.
3. Indie filmmakers have to be some of the most resourceful people out there. We gotta be, cause heck, we're all broke. :D
4. I really should either get a new pair of shoes I'm totally in love with or get used to going bare foot. (moment of silence for my deceased Mions)
5. Its not the equipment that makes a film. Its those "random" moments when the sun breaks out from behind the clouds, flooding a parking garage rooftop with gorgeous amounts of light and your male and female leads knock your directing socks off with how perfectly they capture their characters and all you can do is stand there with your jaw hanging opened until your DP harshly whispers "Call cut!" Ya, thats what its about. (yes i know that was totally a run-on sentence)
6. Making movies is hard work. Now...when to I get to do it again?

Stephanie: You brought your sword?
MJ: Of course I brought my sword. I am Film Warrior! *best samurai pose* Now hold this for me, I gotta go make a movie.

| She actually didn't really like that sword. |
EXT. PARKING GARAGE - ALL FRAKKING DAY
"I had a TON of favorite moments.....but I'll go with the entire last day at the parking garage. I can't think of a better way to spend my time than with like-minded, creative friends shooting a movie. THE SAVING became an action film for an afternoon as we were running, jumping and running some more....VERY exciting!! I actually didn't mind that my feet were killing me about half-way through the day in those oxford shoes! It was an all-around GREAT three days and I'll never forget it!" - Patrick Hussion (Paul Connel)
 |
| Crew and Cast...oh ya and that really big building in the BG |
"(Being on THE SAVING set was) The best experience I've ever had on a set due to the camaraderie and everyone's willingness to help out!" - Bridgett Brennen (Boom Pole Operator)

MJ: Wait, I hear a train. Where's the train?
Timi: Its a Ghost train, see, more symbolism.
IN CONCLUSION: We went Guerilla. We ran around like crazy people. We ate subs. We killed Stephanie 23 times. All and all...WE MADE A MOVIE YO!
Nuff said.
