2/1
So the centerpiece of this film I have to get over my own hang-ups
and feeling of pretentiousness when I refer to something I am working on
as the film. But the heart of this story are two strong willed woman
going head to head in a game of one-upmanship. And I have two great
actors in the roles. With the added benefit of the script being written
for them. So it's already going to play to their strengths. The worries
that I have start with the fact that they never had met each other. Now,
I think they will have great chemistry. And even if for some reason an
animosity arises between them; that will probably still be good for a
film.
My fear as a director is getting them to be comfortable with each
other. To give the type of performance I believe is needed for the film.
This fear could be quelled with a good amount of rehearsal. But this is
ultra low budget film-making. These are SAG actors. You want to
rehearse it will cost you. And in the end I want the most amount of
money on the screen. So we will be having two rehearsals. Which is a
good amount. But I am a director. You always want one more.
