More rehearsals

Our rehearsals for Sin Reversa continue. Today I made a special rehearsal with the two protagonists. It was very rewarding. I like to do a lot of improvisations with my actors, I think it feeds a lot into their characters.

I started out interviewing the actress "in character", letting her invent things as she answered questions about her family, her home, her finances etc. Then we did some improvs to provoke some of the feelings I am looking for in the film. It worked like a charm.
I always try to improvise with a lot of conflict, that always gives fire to the conversations and expressions.

Earlier today I contacted a friend of mine who I know has a lot of insight into acting and directing and I explained the difficulties and he gave me a lot of material to work with, many of them very concrete.

Finally we did a camera movement rehearsal. It worked fine as well, because the guys had prepared the content before arriving. Great! I felt I regained some control today.

Monday we will have our last production meeting before shooting.
O yeah, the finances, another burning issue. We are trying to raise $4,000 for this film. Until this point we have received $218 in our IndieGogo campaign. Still lots to go! And we need it before Wednesday!
