ASK & DISCUSS INDEX

Hello all,

So, as mentioned this wasn’t the film I originally planned to make. I was set to shoot a totally different project over two weekends, but three days before the shoot an unforeseen circumstance forced us to postpone.

With just two days before cameras were due to roll, I decided to write an entirely new script built around the cast, crew and locations I already had in place. Thankfully, the second weekend’s team (and locations) were understanding, but the first was fully locked and loaded, so essentially something had to be shot.

It was definitely a challenge writing something different that used the same actors and locations, two actors were only available Friday, two only on Saturday and one could cover both days.

The script had to be moulded around those constraints and so I sat down and three hours later Easy Does It was written.

What followed was a scramble for a new shooting schedule, new props and something resembling a shot list. It ended up being one of the most difficult things I’ve done, but thanks to an extremely flexible team, I’d like to think we more or less pulled it off.

I’m also happy to say the original film has since been rescheduled, shot and is now in post-production!

Please give Easy Does It a watch, I’d invite any and all feedback and appreciate anyone who takes the time.
