Here I Goooooi

Really stoked to be finalizing my first directed short. The actors are excited and so are the tech crew but why am I so nervous? Will they all show up? Better bring good food!

Melody Mundy

Thanks, Craig.

Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq., Ipg

Don't fret. Everyone wants to please the director... so you'll be fine.

Melody Mundy

LOL. Hope so.

Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq., Ipg

Melody Mundy I really mean it. Everyone wants to please the director, so be aware you can crush them with an offhand remark or if you fail to recognize their good work (which you should term as"fantastic", "perfect", "wonderful" etc even when you are asking for revisions or do-overs).

Melody Mundy

Yes. Being respectful and positive to the work and everyone is key. Thanks.

Martin Reese

It's natural to be nervous. Definitely make sure you have good craft services. The crews work hard. I remember being on a set for hours and hours and getting pretzels as the craft services.

Melody Mundy

Naw. I’m good on that. Thanks

Zenobia Kloppers

Nerves can be translated as passion and energy. That's how you know you care about your project :). Breathe and channel your passion into every second of the process. You only have one first time

Melody Mundy

“You only have one first time”.... Bless u!

Laura Woodworth

Food is energy! You're on the right track to take good care of your crew. Best of success!

Rhonda R Fletcher

Congrats Melody!

Melody Mundy

Thanks All. Count down ... why am I still making script edits? Just minors ones but still...I know I could have done better with dialogues and the actors? Are they rehearsing without me looking? Sorry, I’m just ranting.

To help me relax I’ve decided to say

This is my first. It will be my worst so let’s just have fun making a structured mess.

Now, pressure gone.
