Hey Eric. Story for the times…shortcut to riches, fame and a fall! from grace…saw a theatre production of Anna Sorokin’s story, (ANNA X) a few years ago and was similarly intrigued. Best of British with your prep for this film. Thanks for sharing, keep a shoot diary.
Godd Luck! I have a strong sense you are going to make it happen! I made a short last summer. we shot for 3 days. I used my barn as a production hub, my field for free, a road for free, my friends auditorium for free. I had a free 68 Pymouth. I had a free DP and a free camera. I had to rent a bar for 1/2 day. I did pay everyone, including Sag actors. somehow it still ended up costing 15k. I'm definitely gonna need some of your magic for my feature!
Thanks a lot, Michael! And congrats on completing your short. It is nuts how quickly costs can balloon even on a small production. Sometimes I do think I have set myself an impossible task but part of the fun is to make the impossible happen. A little bit of magic is definitely needed!

Thank you so much, Alexa! Yes, I will chronicle the entire production weekly on this substack. :)
