First AD has found two possible police station locations,
both free, thanks to Hertfordshire Constabulary, plus a
big stash of police uniforms in various sizes, thanks to
a.n. other film company. No charge for those either.
First AD has also sorted out catering. First AD promoted
to hero status.

Production designer has vanished. Art director promoted
to co-producer and takes over as design head. Contact

take it on himself, under advisement.

–we’ll be arresting them later.” Allegedly.

Just over two weeks to go…
