Jetsetting

A rough progression of time spent since Wednesday: I wake up around four in the afternoon, encode some DVD files for a long-delayed project, meet Clay and Sharon for dinner (breakfast?) and drinks, drive to the Blood On The Highway set with Clay, split off into our respective units, shoot until around six in the morning, wrap out most of the crew, head to the second location out in the country at the onset of a beautiful hazy dawn, shoot the denoument for the film, joyously applaud when the martini is taken thus signifying a wrap to the picture and a really amazing filmmaking experience, head back to Barak's house to offload the remaning P2 cards, congregate for a noonish wrap party, imbibe until three, go home, pack, meet Yen for dinner, fall asleep in Dallas at ten thirty, wake up in Los Angeles at eleven, go over various things with Jim regarding the short film he's shooting this weekend, drink some wine, force myself to go to sleep before six in the morning, wake up at eight, wake up again at ten, call my agent, call my mom, grab lunch (vegan pizza), pick up gear for the shoot and get ready to jump right back into things again. Right now it's just turned into Saturday. Cameras roll in seven hours. I'm burning a DVD that I'm about to run over to Fed Ex. This time next week I'll be back in Texas, with maybe just a little bit more time on my hands to write something about all the things I need to be writing.
