Shoot: Results

Today, I had a 7am call time for a short film a friend of mine is producing/directing called "Results". I play a security guard who intervenes in a domestic dispute . I was really tired this morning when the alarm went off, but grabbed a book, a quick bite and a lot of water. The shower and the food got the blood going and I went down to the location in West Hollywood. When I arrived, I could see it was going to be a while before they got to me, so I took a little power nap and read a lot. There's no excuse for actors not being some of the most well-read people since we always have plenty of time to read on-set.

We were using a little side street industrial area, which was really quiet when we rehearsed a couple of weeks ago. Today, for some reason, there were cars parked everywhere, people cleaning off rooftops, and traffic was passing through constantly. The traffic made it tricky for some of the shots, because I had to cross the street. More than once, we had to abort the shot. It was sort of like yelling "Car" when you play stickball or something. Even so, we knocked it out in a couple of hours and I was on my way back home around 11:30am. Had a lot of fun and hope it turns out great!
