…It took me a few days to catch my breath and wrap my mind around our film shoot for “Victim No. 6”. I am feeling oh-so-thankful and proud of what we accomplished. First of all, I need to give a big shout out to my producing partner, and our writer/director, my friend, Nancy Menagh. And we were supported by the most incredible team of filmmakers and actors… Everything was on point, from the performances, to the costumes to the hair and makeup to the production design to the lighting and the images and moments we captured. It was a tough shoot, with long nights, topped off with one final long night, outdoors in the (nearly freezing) cold (for which somehow none of us were dressed appropriately). But our team banded together and made movie magic. I really think we have something special here.

We have so many great behind-the-scenes pics I don’t know what to post first, but I’ll start with these (not yet color-corrected) screenshots by our director of photography, Spike Bauman.

Has anyone else been getting a recent surge of #facebook friend requests from remarkably attractive military veteran doctors wearing scrubs & subtly (yet noticeably) flexing in their profile pics? No, right? I’m special, right? (Don’t worry @declanoscanlon, nothing to see here.)
