A week went by? Already?

As you can tell, I've realized that time has this funny way of going by really, really fast when you need it to go really, really slow. We go to picture in  five days, folks. 

Five days! Eeep!

But, it's all coming together. The pieces are starts to fall (not tumble, mind you) into place. I've been working on a few other projects too that have been eating up Pi time, but those are now almost complete.

Our director of photography is in place. Our composer is in place. Our cast is in place, and our locations are mostly locked. Whew! 

Speaking of casting, I don't remember laughing so hard as I did this weekend, where we had several incredibly talented actors come in to read, and to my surprise, they all had a different, but always funny, take on the characters that I had never considered. We wound up adding a slew of lines to the script from material that they had just improvised on the spot.

I love watching a script come to life for the first time, and seeing how much fun the actors (and ourselves) were having with it felt really, really good. Actually choosing who to cast was a very difficult decision because, simply, everyone was too good. 

I know, I know, people always say that. Well, it's true. These guys were all very, very good, and it's my hope that whomever did not get cast in a lead role will still come out to be one of the Fractals.

Because, let's be honest, you can never have too many nerds.
