My Life to Live

Sorry Ain't Enough finally wrapped last Sunday. It was long and ardrous journey for three months weekends but we made it. This was my first feature experience, albeit it was shot in digital, and it has been fun and great experience. Meeting and getting to know people that cared about filmmaking and the material.

We shot at in front of the Brooklyn Supreme Court without a permit that nearly got us shut down on the final day. The day was cloudy enough that we didn't have to fight against harsh direct sunlight like on Saturday party scene. (Natural diffusion works the best!) Therefore, I as a Gaffer had virtually nothing to do that I took up the behind-the-scene camcorder and interviewed people. Fortunately, almost all principle cast came for at least a scene to be interviewed by yours truly. They shared their most memorable moments like "the Slap", "the March 23rd weekend", "12 hats day", etc. Well, I guess you just had to be there. ;-)

When the final shot wrapped on 2:15pm, our time limit at the location, we gave a howler, and few women, including our director, 1st AD, and AC shed tears. Group hugs followed with a group photo. (I look like I was about to cry, but it's the bad camera angle, I assure you.)

We wrapped the day over a nice lunch at a nearby Italian restaurant and bid farewell until the next weekend's wrap party. The priniciple photography may have ended, but this film's journey is just beginning...
