Spreading positivity

I went into the Ladies Restroom at school and saw the following positive affirmations...




Do you feel better about yourself now?

Rosie blogged!

I'm so glad :)

Unexpected

During the shoot, the director went next door to see if the neighbors could turn off their air conditioner. It was making too much noise for our film.

I was nervous for him to ask. They could shut down our production at any time. We are always at the mercy of the neighbors. But, we still have to shoot our film.

I waited patiently as the air conditioner remained on.

And then it turned off.

And the director returned with a plate of cookies, homemade from the neighbor.

I'm slowly figuring out this state...

Today I successfully got from Fountain Valley to my apartment without the help of GPS.

Go me.

Still waiting...

Yes, Rosie, I'm still waiting for a new blog post...

MA vs MFA

An MFA in Producing is much more demanding than an MA in Cinema Studies....

Procrastinating

Does it count as procrastinating if you don't realize you have a ten-page paper due until the night before?

Still waiting for Rosie...

I wish she would blog soon.

Dream Sequence

Every week or so we have to shoot a video as part of our assignments.
This week we have to do a dream sequence. It could be a literal dream
we had, something we want, or something we fear.

Being on set next to a huge rock where people rock climb makes me
realize: rock climbing is my fear. I don’t know how people haven’t
died today from climbing. I have had to look away several times.

The guy currently climbing keeps freaking me out. Earlier a guy was
solo climbing which meant he had no rope. He climbed straight up and
then straight down with nothing securing him.

Ya…

Where's Brinley?




Home for less than 24 hours

The nice part was the flight took the same amount of time as a drive to LA would normally take me.

Back at it

I have two new nephews: Jaxon and Jacob. Both of which were blessed this weekend. I got to go.

I also took my laundry since I had a free bag on Jet Blue.

I’m good to go for another few weeks.

On Set

They say that every set has a different rhythm and a different feel to it. Even if you have the same position, you will do different things.

When shooting on location, outside, on the side of a rock, you have some down time. It’s nice to have something to do. Other than looking research.

But, of course, I didn’t consider that so I tried doing all my research online from my phone. It worked until my battery died. So, I plugged it in to my computer to charge. It was working great until something happened that had never happened before. The phone started flashing red and green. It flashes red when the battery is low and green when I have a notification. But both of them together was beyond me.

I felt my battery was hot so decided to shut the phone down.

It was a good thing too. The flashing green and red meant it would self-destruct in 5 minutes.
