I love the mysterious little gift of a leap year: a whole extra day in an otherwise jam-packed month.
Last weekend we shot the majority of principle photography for the first five episodes of web series Smart Actress. My co-creator, Sherry Locher, and I wore many hats: director, script supervisor, hair-fixer, and mother hen, feeding our actors and DP, David Schulder. It was a blast, and over so quickly.
Tomorrow we shoot the remaining scenes, mostly between Sherry and me. And then David begins editing and we will release an episode a week in March, starting March 1. Holy cow, that's soon.
And I'm ramping up for my next stage production, Humans Anonymous. Getting in paperwork to AEA, casting notices up and hundreds of actor submissions thus far, drawing the artwork for marketing materials, buying set pieces. My list is long, but I love me a list.
Like I said, that extra day at the end of the month is a gift, and I'm going to keep hopping, skipping and leaping along. It'll be here before I know it.
