The Good
We now have sound, makeup and continuity sorted - Important as we leave in 2 days. Rebecca Rowe (our 1st AD) is outstanding on many levels - one of those being sourcing crew at the last minute.
The butcher in Geraldine has offered to open his shop on a Sunday just for us so we can get our meat down there to feed the crew. Important as Tekapo has no butcher. Jayne - head of our catering - read a great review on the net about his meat. On explaining this to the kind butcher his baffled response was: "You're joking!.. and I thought the internet was a waste of time."
We are having a BBQ tonight at our place with all available crew to do a send off. One of our cast Toa Waaka will be giving us a Maori blessing to send us on our way.
The Bad
The Department of Conservation has just informed us after months of dealing with them that they don't actually allow horses on DOC land - an important piece of missing information as we are aiming to shoot a western on DOC land. But there is hopefully a way around this and Hellen Robinson our Production manager is on the case.
The muster down in Tekapo has been brought forward so all our riding doubles have pulled out! Good times. Mark Kinaston-Smith - our uber experienced & connected Animal Wrangler has thankfully been able to sort this curve ball in less than 24 hours!
The Ugly
Our leading man Cohen Holloway just had his fake teeth fitted for the film - ugly yet beautiful.
