If Life Were A Movie

...is the title of the first short script by John Donnelly that I'm shooting. First reading this Sunday. Looking forward to new challenges with this -- it's a story driven by subtext, a story best served with the right extreme closeups at the right time. Lots of subtextual power here if I can bring it out, both in performances and capturing the images right. On the surface looks pretty ordinary but it's a pretty deep piece in reality, which is why I like it. I think I have the right cast for it, too. Directing is 75% casting, or thereabouts.
