Suddenly, it was time to start filming – and almost in an instant, it was all over.
The script for the film has been in development for nearly two years. During that time, Lisa and I have gotten to know these characters very well. And for five intense days of filming, we finally got to watch them come to life through the amazing actors. They did such an incredible job capturing the personalities, quirks and spirit of the characters.
There are so many people to thank for making thees days what it was. Our incredible crew, and all the wonderful people in the village who helped out in different ways.
I’m so grateful for these five unforgettable days filled with laughter and amazing teamwork.
The hard drive has now been handed over to Jimmy Sundin, who is both mentor and editor on the project. And with that, ’How to mingel’ is entering post-production. We can’t wait to see the finished film begin to take shape.
