2 month reflections

Man what a day we had yesterday!!! 12 hours of shooting over at Screen Gems including b-roll and 3 interviews with different members of the film industry. It was long, grueling, and really hard day of running around with a camera, but in the end, we captured some really awesome footage. Our day ended with a late night interview with local film worker Shaun O' Rourke, which turned out to be the highlight of the day. Shaun participates in the film industry in whatever capacity he can because he truly loves the industry. Whether he is in front of the camera or driving a truck, Shaun's passion shines through every bit of his interview. He even did a few voice impressions for us and he had wonderful pit bull Indy sit in on the interview.

I really enjoyed this interview with Shaun. He squeezed us in after a 12 hour work day, and our interview lasted about two hours, and Shaun helped set-up, take down, and was super inviting during the interview process. This was by far one of our most productive days and a very refreshing moment for me as a filmmaker to work with another like minded individual. The environment was so fun and carefree and it reminded me why I do this: because it is fun. Telling a story becomes such an amazing experience for anybody involved that it would be insane for me to imagine not being able to participate in film. I love this project so far and am pumped on the momentum it's picking up! Until next time, #SaveNCFilm
