THE FUNERAL BY Canyon Darcy

Today I was picked up at 8:30a.m. for a shoot of an original screenplay by Canyon Darcy.  I had a hard time with this script as there were no rehearsals and the lines were similar but dissimilar enough to make a difference!  And so I struggled.  But not in vain.  We got to the set at a private residence in Oak Hill and everything was arranged.  A coffin and chairs.  The best was the cast!  17yo identical twins who drove 3 1/2 hours to the set and Alex, a UT student.  All actor by appearance.

The sound people were pros, Taylor and Canyon had good equipment, and they conducted themselves with professionalism throughout the shoot.  It is a pleasure being with young filmmakers who work so collaboratively.  And they take suggestions so well.  Yes, by the afternoon it was as hot as hell could be imagined.  Yet this was all worth it. And I'd do it again and again.
