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.
