After a day of shooting I come home and peel off my clothes to go into the washer. Inevitably I'll have found myself on my back with a camera, lying on a filthy shop floor.
So really, although you see me in exactly the same shirt the next day, it's freshly washed.
I don't like getting my hands dirty. I'm a bit prissy that way. But I'll do whatever I need to in order to shoot the picture. The problem with me getting my hands dirty on set is that I don't want to touch the camera with dirty hands. I certainly don't want to change lenses.

And when we do get latex gloves on set they end up disappearing. We can go through a LOT of latex gloves on a movie. I think I actually prefer the ones with powder although every dentist I've ever met
hates the ones with powder.

I don't think it's possible we could be happier with our brilliant gaffer, the
Queen of Mars. Note that we don't even have a light kit. These are some construction lights and a couple 300W (or 300W equivalent) lamps inside clip lights attached to C-stands. There's actually a florescent on the ground. You can see it in the next shot.

The color palate of the costumes really helps too. For various reasons Ramsey Scott's costume design is very easy to light. I dig how one character can be very cool and another very warm. This is partly due to makeup but mostly due to lighting.

Smash or Trash has an
advice column for indy filmmakers. I haveta agree with most all his advice. Although I run into the opposite kinds of filmmakers more often — the ones with an art-house sensibility who want to think they're making something brilliant and by extension never get the movie finished.
There's an interview with
Kevin Kangas!
This is my favorite quote:
Your first couple of scripts are going to suck, but you won’t realize it. You’re going to think they’re very good but you’ll be wrong. Write more.

I wouldn't trust that Kevin Kangas dude...I hear he's a douche.
Also, I totally remember my first script...SO bad. The funny part is that I submitted it to like 5 festivals...man, that's embarrassing.
