La La La

Like before sunset but before the sun rose, Nina Simone inside my head and "Babe, you're gonna miss that plane." I know, I know, I know...

But I caught it and I'm back in LA for a week, catching up on things. Yen arrived yesterday. He's spending the weekend rehearsing with his actors (one of whome flew all the way in from Genoa and has never met Yen or anyone else on the film in person) for Ciao. On Sunday, we're having a full day of test shooting, just to familiarize ourselves with the new gear (and with each other). We're shooting on that relatively new all-in-wonder-cam, the HVX200, which should be a nice upgrade to the DVX. Never having to log another tape is fine by me.

I'm trying to multi-task at the moment, and having a pretty good go at it. I've got three half-finished e-mails floating on my desktop, a screenplay, a Word document, this, a MySpace comment, and now Jim is texting me asking me if I can pick up the camera and lighting package. As long as we have it all weekend, I might have to steal it and make something of my own tomorrow.
