The River Wild and Q is for question

Yesterday I had the meeting, you know the one, at Creative House Studios with the world's biggest green screen.  Well, maybe not the world's biggest but it's pretty darn huge!  The tour was amazing.  Just when I thought it was over, there would be another whole section of the studio.  They are housing a new internet radio station and the bookings for studio time are flowing like water.  Speaking of  water, we discussed The River Wild, aka the R scene.  OMG, I'm soooo excited.  By the end of our logistics meeting I discovered I need to find a white water raft large enough for 6 and the oars for both the b-roll shoot and the actual shoot.  We decided on October 27th for the shoot date.  It's going to be a 4 camera shoot!  Awesome, right?  Andy Gardner already said he wanted to work in that studio so I'm going to call him in for it. The scene calls for 4 actors besides me and I have 3 of them practically secured for that date.  I just need to pick a husband and it will be cast ... story of my life, I know ... lol.  What is B roll, you ask?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SItFvB0Upb8  This is a hilarious way to show you but take the time to look at that link.  And remember, don't judge the B-roll!  lololol

Then there's the Q scene.  While R is coming along swimmingly, sorry I couldn't help that, Q is for me questioning what I should do.  Bridges of Madison County was supposed to be in this slot but my actor is extremely booked.  So I'm thinking about Prime again. I have a new actress interested and I think I can make it work.  It would have to happen quickly so today I'm hoping to seal that one.  If we do the scene from Prime it will be a comedy right in between the P scene that's running now and the action or suspense scene that will follow. Could be a nice spot for some funny.  Oh well, we'll see.

Oh and I just had a vitamix callback that was fun and yummy.  I got to eat the smoothie that I made for the audition.  Yay!!!!

No word from Meryl Streep yet but I can see it happening or something even better so I remain optimistic.

Am still working on it but it's looking good. Now I just need how to figure out aging myself about 15 years and padding myself to look like I have a different shape. Should be interesting!
