Finally, Sunday has come and along with it, the beak. The last few days have been a little bit stressing, we had to shoot the most important scenes from the end. Ioana and Maria have been admirable although it wasn’t easy to keep the same emotion throughout 12 hours and then re-capture it in “n” doubles. I hope everything will look the way I want it to and I don’t have to re-shoot it. Yesterday we filmed at my place, on the roof of the block. Shooting combined, at the end with grill, grilled minced meat balls and palinca from Cluj. There were clouds and all of the sunset romance that I hoped for (maybe naive) went down the drain. But we had lots of crows that we took advantage of, in return. We left after 10 days from the suit in Magheru with nice memories. I think we did a good job and gained confidence in what we are doing. I watched together with Alex (the operator) the material from the last few day of shooting and everything seems okay. I’m starting to think we do have very special moments and very good frames. Now the problem is that all these have to connect in a whole and not to be just OK moments.
Chirila got a haircut, we’ll see today if it isn’t too much, I’m a little afraid that we exaggerated and cut too much.
I listen to much music there days, watching Mezzo relaxes me, I miss going to a movie at the mall. I watched on fast forward an awesome film on DVD: Ken Park, by Larry Clark. I’m thinking more and more about the steak of my film and that it doesn’t raise important questions for the humanity or the Romanian society but I really don’t care. I don’t want to make theories and demonstrations; I want to tell a love story as simple and visceral as I can. A touching story.
I didn’t sleep so well, my neck hurts. I need a massage.
