I finally wrote thank-you letters to the TFPF panelists the other day. I received the check a few weeks ago, but keep forgetting to deposit it. James has the Kodak grant, since he's going to be taking care of ordering the stock (500T-7279, we're thinking). We had a brief pre-production meeting the other night, (I've put a bit of moratorium on the term 'meeting,' though'). We reminded ourselves that the start of principal photography has tentatively been set for December 17. I'm pretty sure I know which shot I'll shoot first, and it's an exterior, and I have this vision in my head of a light snowfall just as we start to roll. That's one day less than two months away, though, and lyrical inclemency be damned, I'm beginning to think for a variety of reasons that maybe I should just wait.
