or WHAT?!

I started out early. Did some accounting - ran some numbers - wondered why it felt like I was the only one here wanting to make a film...
I couldn't handle the fact that the boys woke up around noon - seemingly unresponsive - so i took off to enjoy New Mexico on my own.

I found a make-shift location sign and followed it to a HUGE abandoned warehouse. There was security all around but i slipped in by looking like i owned the place.

I stole about 8 pictures (without realizing the shutter was at 60... so i hope they turn out) before someone approached me and asked what i was doing. You should have seen this place. It was truly amazing and if the photos turn out... it might be a good enough reason for driving down here.

I told the guy I was a producer from Vancouver to which he replied "oh, I'm so sorry" (I think he thought i was a producer on that actual show and I didn't do anything to change his mind). I ended up talking to the location manager for a bit about shooting in New Mexico. Then they offered me some coffee and crafty...

I'm a little stunned right now. Not sure which direction to go... but i know the direction I wish I was going. I explained my point of view to the guys. Things are better because we're all talking like a team - but we need to make a choice tonight. Its our last chance.

I'm looking at what we already have. They're looking at what we could get if we wait.
I want to shoot a movie... they want to shoot one for more money, bigger actors and push it into the new year... at least today we found locations that work here. I knew we would.

I don't think there is a point to waiting to see what we might pull in and risk loosing what we already have.

To me bigger actors, more money and more time is the equivalent of our next project - the one that hasn't begun yet. But thats just me. The producer.
