A Dozen Days

It's Tuesday, so it must be week three. Great to have (nearly) a couple of days off. Scary to think that by tomorrow we'll be exactly half way through the shoot. Everything happens so quickly that it's hard to find the time to reflect. We're into December already, as no doubt everyone has realised.

One of the good things that happened yesterday was the arrival of my dear friend Gareth Higgins.

He's a lovely man, originally from Belfast, but now married and living in North Carolina. He's come out to help with the film, and from tomorrow will be writing this blog - giving me a little more time as producer to sort out other stuff.

Gareth runs his own film blog in the States, The Film Talk, which you can access here. He's a real cinephile with an encyclopedic knowledge of the craft. It's great to have him on board and to join the team.

Today we're off out to Waikumete cemetery to film a burial scene - for once we're hoping for rain! Given Auckland's weather there's a better than even chance.
