Day 19. The Night Before

December 19, 2007

Well, all’s set, pretty much. Talents are a go, staff are a go, the arrangements of lights and metal that qualifies as equipment are a go. Tomorrow is Day 1 of the shorts, and we’re doing Sammy and Felipe first. Our first scene is at the same house that was featured in Mansyon. A character from that story, Dona Elena Manalo, makes a cameo in this film. I’d like to imagine my shorts as all part of the same universe.

So this is all familiar: shooting in my Mom’s house and later, at Monster’s for the house of our protagonists.

Using an all-new team this time. Can’t wait. More tomorrow.

Who’s your daddy!? Who’s your daddy!?
