September 11th was our first day of principal photography. People have asked me if there is anything significant to us starting on that date. The answer is no. All of our schedules just happened to align right then and there. It was a good day to remember, though. All the people who have lost their lives to secure our freedom...we're capable of making a Christian movie because of those sacrifices. There is the freedom of expression, art, and love that many people in this world aren't capable of understanding or experiencing. We're blessed beyond measure.
So, the 11th was the "official" official start date. We had Boom Guy from KFW come in and he's helping us out SO much. Really, we couldn't do it without him. Although, I'm still thinking of another name besides Boom Guy. I'll continue to ponder over that.
How I realized Boom Guy was extraordinarily awesome: one of the first days working with him for KFW, he was so tired from being at Comic-Con and then traveling all the way back to Middle-of-Nowhere, Kentucky. The poor guy fell asleep in the middle of a scene, holding the boom. Camera guy for that movie tried desperately to get his attention silently, but to no avail. The boom was slowly creeping into the frame...
...And then...he woke with a start, a slight freaked out expression on his face. We could take it now longer. Laughter ensued.
Thus began our friendship with Boom Guy. We heart him so.
