Hello, Hive! When people think of filmmaking, they’re picturing the part of the process known as production. Everyone on set, the actors getting in the zone, the shouts of, “lights, camera, action!” The reality is a little less glamorous than people imagine, but there is still a certain energy that you can only find on set, and I crave that energy. On the first night of shooting, I was acting in a small role, just for fun. It was a short couple of scenes, so it didn’t take long to knock out. It was by far the easiest day, and we got to have a lot of fun goofing around in between takes. I felt that it set a nice tone for the rest of the shoot, because it meant that we could get comfortable with each other before things got crazy. Catch me directing from within the scene On the second day, the scenes were a little more complicated. I had more actors, one of whom was a child. His name is Jake, and he’s actually the son of one of my professors, who had been working on getting into acting.
