Another day out on the road with the 2nd Unit. The guys were all out doing car bits which is notoriously slow and monotonous so I kept my head down and cracked on with my duties. I spent the whole day watching the time to see if I could get away early to make the screening of my short film at a small Bristol cinema. First I heard we were going to wrap early, then late, but then bang on time - giving me just enough wiggle room to get to the church on time. In the midst of all this Rebecca agreed to go in my stead to possibly introduce the film - what did I ever do to deserve someone as giving as Rebecca?
Luckily I made it in time so she needn't embarrass herself. It's been a hell of a long time since I had something of mine put in front of an audience. Not since the days of Cineclub I dare say, but I never forgot that feeling. Sitting with a group of strangers and hoping they laugh and react to your work as much as you'd hope. When No Show came on, people responded loudly with awws and yays in all the right places.
It's the one thing I won't lose, that feeling.
