Actress playing Old Lady leaves worried message on answermachine. Producer frets. Does this mean she can’t do the film? With two days to go before rehearsal. Director chills out. No worries.
Mutual friend of Jon calls to make producer feel guilty about not getting her involved in production. Tell her that art department could use some help. She responds with, “Well, my cars not really working… I’m really only able to do production.” Blah blah. Bleugh. It really is just a phone call to make producer feel guilty. It makes him annoyed instead. Especially after third call. He makes wax effigy and sticks pin in it.
Contact Simon to change lighting request from tungsten to HMI and “Can we have some Kinoflo’s please?” etc etc. Try to replace soundman who has suddenly become unavailable. Get hold of back up and find he’s probably busy, “But call me later and I’ll check.”
Call actress playing old lady and discover she is only worried about filming for ten days. Confirm it’s only a three day shoot and confirm dates with her. Director laughs at thought that she might not have appeared. Producer bops director on head. Psychiatrist rubs hands gleefully at thought of treating impending personality disorder.
Note to self: don’t forget to eat.
