Nightmares of a First-time Female Director on the Eve of Principle Photography for "Fork..."

I tossed and turned last night, the nightmares haunting me as I dreamed the most worst-case scenario for a film shoot imaginable:

My whole crew turned up late, bringing friends they thought would have fun "watching," and my Director of Photography spent more time flirting with the girls in the local cafe than prepping for coverage.

Running around, screaming and firing individuals right and left of me, I frantically attempted to ground myself and gain back some sort of control over the set and my sanity. But by the time, I found my cameraman, my actors were running away from me.

Ever had one of those?

This morning I opened my Email to find my first "I can't come because you don't really need me afterall, do you?" cancellation.

Ahhhhhhhh, what lies before me on this first of three principal shooting days for "A FORK IN THE ROAD?"

Read on throughout the next four weeks to find out! ;-)

Soon the postings of each individual film will be up on the site, so you can see exactly when "Oh, Had I Wings" will be screened.

Director Maggie Glass recommends coming earlier, just in case the schedule gets shifted, and in order to see other great works in filmmaking art.

On the Slate

All those years of acting lessons are finally paying off.

I've got several film roles on the slate in the near future -- one is the role of a mother in a modern western, another is of a social worker in an incredible romantic drama, and a third is as a psychoanalyst in an incredible comedy.

More on those great new endeavors soon...
