Dolphin Girl short film UPDATE

Yes, Dolphin Girl is in the can! Wow, what an amazing, exhausting experience. I was so fortunate to be surrounded by a stellar cast and crew of dedicated, hardworking professionals. I wrote and directed Dolphin Girl... it took a TRIBE to make it.

Scatter Brothers -- Doug, Ben, thank you for your talent, hard work and in sharing my vision. I hope the sunburns have healed. Stef, my pit bull/Chihuahua AD with the BOOMING voice, thank you for keeping us all in line and on time.

A huge thank you goes out to our Producer and Stage 32 CEO, RB Botto, for taking time out of your insane schedule to make it to our shoot. Producer Amanda Toney held down the fort and was with us in spirit. Thanks for all the texts and emails, Amanda! A debt of gratitude goes out to Stage 32 for running amazing contests including the short script contest that Dolphin Girl won AND for connecting me with 90% of the talent used to make this film. One stop shopping; I love this platform!

Another great big thank you goes out to the St. Pete/Clearwater Film Commission for sponsoring our production AND for providing such stunning locations. http://www.filmspc.com/

JT Mollner you're the best. You brought your wealth of experience and knowledge on set, gave suggestions and advice when I needed it and stepped back when I didn't. Mentor for life -- it's in your contract ;) AND, only once did you suggest making Dolphin Girl into a horror, OK, maybe twice.

I will post photos tomorrow on my wall.

Thanks for all the advice going in.

Peace, TANYA
