Today, we shot the climax of the film. Yeah, climax. So I had to stock up on white chocolate mocha coffee - because working on sugar highs is the best thing EVER. You jump up and down and talk really loud. God I love sugar highs.

You know? When you reach that peak and you just can’t get
enough of it and just want – NO – need more? (I can't tell if I'm talking about sugar or climaxes).
We had to do it over and over again, and every time it felt
a little real-er, a little stronger, and a whole lot better (I'm pretty sure I'm talking about the scene).
I can’t exactly divulge what the scene is about, but seeing
the emotions fly across the kitchen was definitely a first experience.
There have been many firsts during this shoot – on my part
anyway.
Directing actors may not come easily or naturally to me, but I definitely enjoy it. You give a little, and they give back so much.
Our two main protagonists couldn’t have been better,
creating great chemistry, showing real emotions, and building real tension in
the air around them.

And as for our secondary character, he gave us the most seductive eyes we could ever envision while his hands continuously made love to a guitar. So, we basically had visual orgasms during so many of the takes. Blushing here, blushing everywhere.
It was supposed to be our most difficult day, but we
overestimated the difficulty of this scene. We ended up finishing extremely
early –
That being said, I do believe we captured the essence of
what our film was trying to convey. Relationships aren’t as simple as Hollywood
films make them to be. Friends with benefits – my ass. Prince charming – bite
me. So, we’re trying to keep things real.

Let’s hope that all our efforts (from both cast and crew)
come together well in our final product.
