And Now, A Review

Please indulge me a moment. A year ago tomorrow, Thomas and I commenced filming on The Night Shift.

It was the worst possible first day of shooting.

The ridiculously over-priced lens adapter didn't work. Our cinematographer moved across the state with no notice. It was windy. It was cloudy. My hair fell (I know; the horror). We got zero accomplished--not one useable frame of film. Period. It was a wasted day, and several of the key players ended up in my living room, trying to figure out how to use the [expletive deleted] camera.

Luckily, the second day went much better, and we ended up with a pretty little picture of which we can all be proud.

But you know this already.

Why am I posting today? Why, it's because on this, the eve of our anniversary, the first review came out, and folks, it's a doozie. Seriously, people are going to think we paid this guy (we didn't). It's from A Little Dead Podcast (cute), and starts a little past the episode's halfway mark. If you get a chance, you should listen to it. If you'd rather not, here are some of the finer points:

“I love this film! [Khristian] Fulmer...was likable, affable and relatable. [Erin] Lilley...was equally enjoyable...I absolutely loved Herbie! Story was also very well done with perfect pacing and progression...never gets mushy or lame...really nice chemistry between [Fulmer and Lilley]. Fulmer played the character with just the right amount of humor and seriousness to keep the character real. The oddity, the interestingness, and the affability of the main character; everything comes together and makes for a really good experience. A definite buy. It’s just that good.”

So I'm happy. Hope there are more nice ones to follow. Thanks for putting up with me on this. Love you guys!
