Merrily, Merrily Trailer

And now news of another trailer, this one for James' new short, Merrily, Merrily. I sat in on the final sound mix the other morning and got to hear Curtis' haunting score (featuring Mara Lee Miller of Bosque Brown on vocals) for the first time. It's beautiful stuff.

I think that was on Friday. Or was it Thursday? We've been on a night shoot schedule for a week now, and I have no idea what day it is anymore. But there's something really wonderful about being out in the countryside at two in the morning, with a cool breeze blowing and making the night seem bigger and quieter, stars shining overhead while lights rise on their stands, setting the grass ablaze with blue. One of my favorite parts of Michael Winterbottom's Tristram Shandy was how well it captured the heightened surreality of an all night shoot; there's a chaos to it, but of a very enchanting sort. I love it, although I'm having trouble keeping up with my other affairs during my sleepy waking hours.

Last night (or this morning?), I splintered off to go direct second unit. And then suddenly the sun was up.
