The Biz

A long weekend in LA provided an opportunity to check-in on baby Olivia and the movie-making activities of the up and coming Rennier brothers.

Olivia was cute and healthy as expected with Chris and Sunny doing a great job ...

... but the staggering number of tasks required to shoot a feature film surprised me.

There was casting, auditions, offers and negotiations, contracts, location-hunting, more negotiations, more contracts, artwork, props, crew formation, permits, readings, script changes, adjustments, endless calls, payroll services, catering services, budgets, meetings. endless calls, and financing for it all.

It looks like they have everything on track to meet their shooting schedule, including an impressive cast and crew. In "the biz", nothing is guaranteed, but their project - entitled "Lionhead" - looks very promising.
