The visual reminder for me that actors go THAT way.

Sept 8th: Met with makeup/fx team, worked out a few sketches for how we will create "the wolf".
Sept 9th: Cast has been confirmed. Welcome Serah and Jesse!
Sept 10th: Scouted location with the brilliant DP. Worked out a few shots. Mental note: always find people to work with who are more talented than you.
Sept 14th: Fabric for the iconic RED HOOD obtained from the lovely ladies at Fabric Depot. They loved it when I told them what I was using it for.

Shot Sept 25th-26th.

Spooky woods are in the works!

what else would he shoot "Red and the Wolf"on? Fitting that RED shoots Red. And she'd better be a red-head or I'll be pissed.
