Day 21 of 28 (+1) Days



we wrapped the shoot early today. nothing to crow about; today should've been a day off. and tomorrow the service van picks us up at 4:14 in the morning.

what the--?!?

i should be going to bed now.

i have rekindled my relationship with television. it has become my "other" favorite pastime, next to the internet.

stars, stars. everyone loves a star. the "stars" in our movie aren't exactly super-famous (some may be popular in their own countries, but practically unheard-of in the philippines), but they're the ones who provide the "glamor" in this bloody process that is moviemaking. they're the ones who have to look good and act like everything is real and effortless, while the rest of us are drenched in sweat while trying to mount the film together. when the audience sees this film, they will remember it for the stars, which places stars way up there in the moviemaking foodchain.

that's just the way it is. and it's perfectly alright to me. so long as they don't get bratty. haha.

four things that endear an actor/actress to me:
1. s/he remembers his/her action continuity
2. s/he acts the part convincingly, with depth, using a wide gamut of emotions as required by the scene and/or the role.
3. goes out of his/her way to be gracious towards everyone.
4. works cooperatively with the rest of the staff and crew.

a scene between Kieu and Vanessa. girl talk.

the male lead star, du$tin nguyen

dying scene at the docks.

one of the cutest of the bunch, j0hnny nguyen

the sweetest and most vibrant of em all, 8dmund ch8n. we all love him!

Kim and Kieu on harnesses...look, we're flying!

mother massages child. the actress who plays the mother is my favorite Actress in the cast. radiant, seasoned, delicate, beautiful woman.

have to go. CSI: Miami on AXN tonight.
