Captain's log, June 19th. Morale has never been lower. Today the gaffer beat a P.A. to death with a C-stand and cut up the body. We were picking pieces off the craft services table all day.
No, I'm just kidding. We have neither P.A.s, nor craft services. What are we, the Hudlin Brothers? This is low budget stuff here!
Anyway, day 3 was frankly pretty boring. Day two was where the action was, with the big bathtub scene (and the unfortunate moment when our makeup effects crew forgot to warn the lady of the house that there was a dismembered foot in her refrigerator before she went in there looking for last night's Chinese food ...). Below are some pictures:

That's Producer/Co-Director Jordan Hoffman on the left, and me on the right. The good people at Jana Water have been good enough to provide the crew with clean, clear Jana Water from Croatia.

The MVP of the day was Matt Patches, our young A.D., who was recruited at the last minute to play foot stand-in, a role the required him to lie face-down in a bathtub for 45 minutes while an actor sawed up foam body parts on his back. What a trouper!

There I am. See what happens when you cut up a chicken with a hacksaw? It's really gross.

The amazing Robert Gomes, starring as Kip. Did we mention that the movie is a romantic comedy? It is. Really. Over Rob's shoulder is genius DP Raoul Germain.

| And this photo is totally unnecessary. Make-up gal Cynthia O'Rourke grossed us all out with her vile bag o' body parts. Yuck!
