This is a great picture of Catherine, waiting for us to do our thing. I'll try and post some more of these as time goes on.

It was fascinating to watch the different processes of our actors. Some wanted to talk in detail well before we shot. Some just wanted to go over the highlights. Some trusted my words -- i.e. the script -- as gospel. Some wanted to change everything. Some were more social, more gregarious. Some more image conscious. Some aware of their hands, some aware of their good side. All wanting something great to happen with our little film. All fragile at some level looking for some reassurance that what they were doing was good. It was.

The characters grew in many ways. They started on paper, but then real people analyzed them. Gave them logic. Histories. Purpose. Fixed my flaws as a writer. Created story problems. Not everyone got all my jokes. Of course, not everyone will laugh at what I think is funny. Oh well.
