Shoot Day 23

Hello friends,

Today's a biggie. Some major romantic sequences and Heidi (Rachael Taylor) plays the violin for Michael (Alex Dimitriades) too. Rach has been in lessons for months now -- bloody hard work. But she can play for real now, and her progress has been outstanding. Our composer has come back from the UK for the scene too, so we're set to go.

With just 8 shooting days left I'm already missing the film. So many sequences and even a whole act in the can now. Feels fantastic, but also sad to see scenes that we've planning for so many years come and go. Couldn't be happier with them though. Wouldn't change a thing. Marvellous performances and a stellar crew working so hard to make it happen.

As exhausting as the process is, it's the best thing I've ever done in my life. Everyday there's some new little miracle to make me smile. Loving it.

Pic 2. Our Unit King, Tony. The ultimate on-set barometer.

 Pic 3. Our motley crew in red gum city. From the look of things, the boyz have just asked me to go jump in the river.

Pic 4. A Mildura rooftop in all it's glory. LOVE IT here.


Much love,
