Day 2 of production is in the bin. It is amazing to be surrounded by artists working in and around our project. Being both actor and director is a challenging parallel because as a director you must be able to communicate with your cast and as an actor you must interact fluently with other actors. I take inspiration and a bit of relief when a master director/actor such as John Cassavetes pulled it off flawlessly.

As a fan and contributor of indie film, I'm continually reminded of Cassavetes and his precious works of cinema. With the advent of cheap solutions in making professionally admirable indie films, my goal is to focus on performance and the open communication to the audience without disrespecting the power of the image. I can only hope to have at least some Cassavetes' cinematic charm rub off on me and be enlightened by his works.
