Set Diaries - The night of 19-20/6

This is going to be a long night, it really is. We were scheduled to shoot from 20:00 to 8:00, but I had to arrive at 00:45 because I was working in the performance "Atrapada en la Red" where N is starring. It's an incredible one woman show that leaves me completely blown away, every time I see it. Not a lot of things do that to me, less so actors and plays, but she does something magical on stage that I wish the whole world could see. It will, in time.

Anyway, I arrived here and got through makeup, wardrobe and hair really quickly, and now we're waiting. This is what "#setlife" is like. Waiting, waiting and more waiting - keeping the concentration and energy up no matter what hour of the day it is. We don't get paid for learning lines or being on set, what they're really paying us to do is to be patient.

Well, to be completely honest, this project doesn't even pay me as it is our final project in school. It's a really interesting story and our director is a genius, he does wonders with actors and I can't wait to be directed by him in a bigger project like the one we're doing. The story's really interesting and I think we can really get some cool material out of it. We won't be able to see it until maybe September, at the earliest, but that's just the normal process. At least we're cutting down the actual production time by using two cameras instead of one.

I'm currently with my computer right over the makeup table waiting to shoot. They just came to tell us that we have a 30 minute break until we're back up and running again. By which time I will shoot my first things. WAH! I'm nervous! But I got it under control, I hope. It's basically the first scene of the movie, but with me doing a four page monologue. Talk about  a stretch.

What I'm really happy about is the level of confidence I feel like my teacher has in me, otherwise he wouldn't have given me such a big part, and I'm not planning on letting anyone down, not tonight.

I'm going to hurry up to grab myself a sandwich, as I still haven't had any dinner.

Don't be a stranger! Loves
