Well after months of preparation Back to the Dead was a success, and it all came together in the last few days. Only days before the shoot i had to re-cast Megan and find a make up artist, a feat that was looking impossible. However, i pulled through finding a young dancer/singer/actress named Deanna Carbone to play Megan, and through the owner of the house we're shooting in i met Leigh Madden who is a brilliant make up artist. The shoot went off without a hitch, the actors were all perfect for thier roles and were so easy to work with. The crew worked together like pro's, i think if even Peter would've been impressed if he'd actually showed up.. The vibe on set was like a dress up party with good friends, there was no time to be bored, and no reason to get agitated; except when people leave cans and bottles laying around after cassie's dressed a set.. Tuesday was the one worry as we were shooting outside at the graveyard and it wouldn't stop raining. We were running back and forth between our shelter and our set all day. Eventually we had to settle for umbrella's over the camera and lights and we all just had to deal with getting wet.
As much fun as it was i am glad that the shoot is over with as it is a stressful time with sleepless nights. I think because everthing was going right i was expecting something to go drastically wrong. Now i can't wait to begin the edit and try to mold four hours of blood splattering into a 10 minute film... and then begin the next journey
