MacMill's

Indy. Helpful for finding sticks and chasing squirrels.


Misha at work.

A box of letters we found on MacMill's porch which will be
incorporated into the show as Carl's letters,
some of which were written to Leona.

Leona was raised a good Christian.

On the set of the photo shoot.

Indy is also helpful for holding up cardboard to block light on set.

We only spent one night at MacMill's house (which, admittedly, is a bit ridiculous after a 4.5 hour drive) but it felt like much longer. Our time was completely dedicated to Georgia & Leona, on the page and bringing them to life. Soon after we arrived, we did a photo shoot for our promo photos, and Jacqui took some fantastic shots of us in costume in our environments. I will post them once we have the finished product.

I read the new version of the script and I cried. Three times. Misha and I read the script to MacMill and Jacqui and got some great notes and some direction on what to work on for the next (and hopefully fairly final) draft. We spent the 4.5 hour drive home talking about Georgia & Leona... & Carl & Barry & Clyde & Donna. We talked about their parents, where they grew up, what happened in the years before the script, what jobs they did and currently work at, how they look in a pair of jeans (Clyde = dynamite, by the way), their social insecurities, everything. Once we started building the history of our characters it just flowed and they became more and more clear to us. After a while it felt like we were gossiping about people we know, and it's the essence of that feeling that we are now trying to inject into the script.

It's getting good, guys. Real good.
