Return to the Labyrinth (shoot day 7)

Dinner provided by something called Wahoo

Ok, so another perk about being an actor on set is that as a general rule, great pains are taken to hide all freak outs on the part of production from the performers. Momentary meltdowns and flights off the handle are inevitable because we are only human operating under superhuman circumstances. But for whatever reason (maybe because actors are insecure enough) the law of the jungle is "don't let them see you cry". Try as they may, if you are aware you can piece together a story of a recent fall-apart.

I won't lie. We are behind and long shoots into the wee hours trying to get it all done is trying on the crew. Nerves are raw, stress is high, patience is low and exhaution does not begin to describe what the crew is feeling. But, we'll be ok. I'm painting a dark picture but as long as I know that I and the other actors still have ideas and things that we are excited to shoot and tryout...I know we are still ok.
