And you think you want to act

Whew! Two whole days of takes under the hot sun at a playground and then in an apartment. And at least one more day of shooting to make up for lost sunshine hours and rainy weather --- all towards a mere 5-minute film showing! Now, I'm going to look at movies - good, mediocre and bad - with a different eye! No joke. Acting, directing, cinematography, scripting and all are tough work!! But being involved in the daughter's coursework was fun, and I get to interact with young minds. Having the sons and other daughter as fellow actors/actresses/calafares made for unusual but good bonding time.
