So Far So Good.........
I'm chuffed right now - really chuffed. The script for Hard Shoulder has been, to date at least, well received by my regular army of readers and the few cast members who have been shortlisted for roles already. No audition process on this one, just careful selection based upon the producer's knowledge, and close scrutiny of showreels.
The script is holding up really well. A few tweaks to the timeline is all that has been ordered so far, and in the main the narrative remains tight and focused. If anything it is the subtext that is proving tough to comprehend in all its complexity, for it is very multi-layered, and in places ambiguous. I don't necessarily think that a problem - in a 'David Lynch' kind of way it is complimentary. Oh to create something as memorable as Lost Highway.
Work continues to secure finance, find locations and suitable studios, as well as entice the two 'big boys' who will anchor the production for us. It is all a matter of chance but all in all we're ship shape and raring to set sail. Had some interesting advice today from a well respected sound recordist and am looking into securing his considerable talent for the duration of the shoot, as consultant if necessary, but in the sound 'hot seat' if possible.
