Last Friday morning I managed to get all of my cast together (well… nearly all) for a complete run through of the script. It turned out that I could only get them all in the same room for one hour in that entire week! – so good luck arranging the shoot which needs to run for an entire day! The attendees were Peter, Lucas, Ryan, Suhail, and Shabaz…Oliver couldn’t make it and Mayur is still AWOL! (I am thinking of asking Suhail’s friend to take the part if I do not hear from him very soon).
Due to the fact that we only had an hour we had to get through things quickly. We had a brief discussion and then got stuck straight into the script. There were a couple of things that I stopped to pick up on but all in all it went really well. Suhail was a bit off but I can forgive him for that because I haven’t even sat down with him to go through his lines since I gave him the part… I made the mistake of not noting down the time that we started reading because I thought that we would have time to go through the whole thing once more with no stopping. However I was wrong and we could only do two more scenes for the second time. At a guess I think that the script is about 20 minutes, which is what I guessed originally anyway.
All that is left to do now is source the props and book the date of the shoot… Fingers crossed!
Great work.
