Start The Week

Never again will I complain about sitting at a desk in front of a computer. Spent this morning and half the afternoon helping to relay some paving slabs. In this hot weather, by the time I was done, I was sunburnt and my clothes were soaked through with sweat.

After that, the filming scheduled for late afternoon went like a dream. The journey into London wasn’t delayed by stalled traffic. We cut through Regent’s Park and parked right across from the location.

The Agency Woman was great. The Clients were great. And the Specialist interviewed was superb. Even after a day that had seen him wake up at five in the morning, travel first to Oxford then Edinburgh before returning to London.

Surprisingly the short film script we had been expecting actually arrived. After eight pages I gave up. Emailed SFW with a couple pages of notes that culminated in two questions:

01. Have you read through this?

02. Have you read the dialogue out aloud?

Because if the answer to either or both of the above is no, then:

03. I’m not wasting my time reading it.

Two whole months waiting for this? Jesus!
