The first pre-production meeting

I didn't post after the meeting because I was pretty upset, I guess.

Out of everyone I had invited, the only ones that showed up were Steve Strank and Kenny & Sarvi.

I knew that a few wouldn't be able to make it, probably. I had even told Nick that if he didn't want to come, that would be okay. The main purpose of the meeting was for Kenny and Cordillia to meet and get to know each other a bit and also to meet the rest of the crew.

When Cordillia failed to show up, I was pretty upset. I tried texting her and calling her, with no response.

Based on our history together, I asked Sarvi if she wouldn't mind playing the girl instead and she said that she would.

We kept the meeting short and just discussed a few location ideas and scenario ideas.

Since Kenny and Sarvi live in Sugarhouse, we will probably shoot most of the date scenes closer to where they live to make it easier.

Jason contacted me after and said that he had the time wrong and still wanted to be involved. I'm hoping that I can get him to do the audio on the shoot.

Steve and Trish are still onboard and excited. The lack of turnout at the meeting didn't seem to phase Steve too much.

I also scouted the location at Nick's work the previous day and his boss said that we can shoot there. So we have a location for the big zombie fight scene.

Notes to myself on "The Date From Hell"

It's 2010 and my first movie is going to be "The Date From Hell" starring Kenny Maisak and Cordillia Taunton.

I want to get into the habit of using blogs as a form of journal or diary for different projects, so I'm going to start with this one.

It's 1:17pm and I'm going to start outlining the first draft. I need something on paper since our pre-production meeting is tomorrow.

Wish me luck.
