LEST WE FORGET









Hi Guys,

Yeah I am editing! I am working on the movie trailer and we have a website: daddysgirlmovie.net.

I will announce when it is ready.

Someone asked for some pictures so here they are.

The first is in Jordan's room for that day long marathon of shooting. I can't believe you guys went to the beach after all that! Oh to be young! The second is of our social worker Debbie, she did a great job and the scene is really funny. That will definately make the trailer. The third is of Eryn, Britty, and Kelly, all good friends; this was important as the friendship shows up on screen. You just can tell they are having fun and like each other. Great job girls!

Next is our intrepid director on the white mountain shoot. Oh what we do for art? I think we all got a little banged up repelling down that 50 foot verticle drop with all our equipment no less. Sacha took the worst of it as her back was acting up BEFORE we took the 2 mile hike to the site over all those rocks and railroad ties. The great thing is the shots look great and that is what all the work was about. The next day we worked with Angie and Kendra and Sophie directed the lake scene. (Great Job Soph). That was a really fun day and the Angie on the bike picture summed it up (check archives).

Jordan, Tanya, and Sophie are doing a "charlies angels" picture. Just a moment of silliness during the wedding scene, another long long day. We started at 5 AM with hair and makeup, then went to Eddies house for the Sarah scene before the "walk". Tanya was a good sport about her scene and I think is is funny and honest. We had to film on one of the hottest days of the summer and I recall everyone waiting outside the church (we were locked out by mistake) and me running to other churches in town for a spot. Dorothy saved the day (again) by mentioning Abby Griffin Park and of course it was perfect. I want to thank all the people who came out all dressed up as extras for the wedding scene, it was just perfect. Thanks to Rhum Boogie for being such good sports and to CC at Fratellos. After the weding scene was over, we then filmed the engagement scenes. We finished around midnight and then everyone went out for a drink and marveled how we got through the day. Later, Mike and I went with Mike's apartment to scope out the "into Jamie's Lair" scene and map out shots.

The next picture is of Daphne who came all the way from Rhode Island to be in "Daddy's Girl" She did a wonderful job as the salesclerk. Angie skipping in all happy will make the trailer. Next we have Eddie and our 'Doctor" follwed by Sophie in Jail. After removing the spiders, she was ready to act. I remember how creepy the place was and the musty smell. I think it helped us both get in character. This is another clip for the trailer.

Last but not least is our sleep over kids having fun and just being kids. It was a lot of fun to do, especially making brownies.

Stay tunned for up dates; BTW I am doing a lot of things these days. I have a new Merrimack Matters team and we will start new shows in a couple of weeks. If anyone wants to do a segment, give me a call, we would love to have you join us. I know Sacha is interested in video so maybe you might want to come down and do a segment. How about showing off your talents in song or dance, etc. A show on cooking, or other interests; well to quote Sacha, it's all good.

I am also working on building up my company so I can finance my films. Daddy's Girl needs to come first and it now looks like we are finally on track!

Sophie, I want to get the trailer up before I use you for the website but I will call you in a few weeks with details. I am still waiting for the one account but will start marketing in about a month. I am trying to get everything lined up so I can move forward and have purchased a lot of new equipment so I will definately call you once I have things lined up.

Fore everyone, I am planning a premeire once we are done so check the blog from time to time.
