We had both actors on Friday and Devon was a good sport running again since there was no snow as in the last time we shot--continuity!

My friend has been taking pictures and video of us making the movie all day and I want to try and upload a few of the pictures.

We managed to cause murder and mayhem in Buddy Attick Park.

Danger

Monica and I got to start shooting today with one of our actors from the acting department. He was a good sport as we had him running around in the woods in the mud and icey slush.

We are shooting again on Friday with both of our actors.

Our script synopsis- film opens with a girl waiting under a lone street light. We do not know why she is waiting. We don't know why she is alone in the middle of nowhere. A car pulls up and she gets in. There is a guy driving the car but we do not know whether the girl knows the guy or whether they are strangers and she just got in for a ride. The girl says she needs to go to a store. The guy passes the store and instead of going to turn around he turns down a desolate road of the main street and parks at the head of a trail.

The girl is angry because he did not take her where she needed to go. She tries to leave. He grabs her arm to stop her. She slaps him and runs into the woods. He leaves the car and chases after her.

We are going to film the confrontation a number of ways so when we edit it we can have the guy catching the girl and she comes to know good end. Or the guy runs into woods, girl hits him with a stick and catches him off guard. She wins, he loses.

The 5 Obstructions

Given the nature of the project that resulted from Shirin Neshat's visit, this seems a good place to start: A screening of 'The Five Obstructions.'

From wikipedia:

The premise is that Lars Von Trier has created a challenge for his friend and mentor, Jørgen Leth, another filmmaker. Von Trier's favourite film is Leth's The Perfect Human (1967). Von Trier gives Leth the task of remaking The Perfect Human five times, each time with a different 'obstruction' (or obstacle) given by Von Trier.
