1 week down, 5 to go
Finished first week of shooting on de film. Tuesday we were all decked out in sunglasses filming in St. Michael's in Mahon. Mucho grazias to Eddie in the cemetary who was so good to us. Being a Cork woman, I am very proud of how everyone locally is so supportive of the film.
I used underhanded techniques to try and win a bet. We were at a loss as to the offical name of the holy water bucket and sprinkling device used at the funeral scene in Mahon. The answer is "stoop". What a bad Catholic I am! I cunningly used my inside connection to Eddie to get the information. See what a ruthless person I am!
Wednesday morning was a bit of a shock weather-wise. Knew the bad weather was coming but I refused to acknowledge it because of previous day's good weather. Bad mistake! Got drenched at 6:30am and had soggy bottom syndrome for next 14 hours! The glitzy life of filmmaking, eh!
Spent 3 days in Passage West. Local residents amazing. Bodes well for rest of shoot.
