Now, Now

Two hours from now, I am hoping to get onto a plane to Los Angeles, CA. After three months in Honolulu, the whole thing is still a fucking mystery. Even now, I'm in the midst of processing the production -- still physically & emotionally exhausted -- still having dreams of shooting (dreams in which I dream up a scene that we have yet to shoot -- last night's was Christian & Laura standing on my mom's balcony, wistfully -- and then I wake up -- jump up -- looking for Robin or James or whoever, and it is about 15 seconds before I realize that it is 4am, everyone is already gone, and the scene doesn't exist). These dreams are really stressful and I hope that they stop soon.

The film was a landslide, a motion blur, and reminds me a bit of what it is like when you try to have a conversation with too much caffeine inside of your brain. You try to pace yourself, but the rush inevitably takes over and before you know it you are saying things just to figure out what they mean. It's a ecstatic sort of feeling, and when it's over you kinda think, What did I just say?

Congrats on finishing production! Both to you and your subconscious brain, who may think you're still going... those things are stubborn.

Can't wait to join the party and start on Post, from the stills and the stories, the film already seems "...beyond, beyond, totally beyond," as I heard someone say one time.

Much Love,
Wendy, Layover Editor
