Norm Sanders (fka "Envision") Presents ....

Ah, yeah .... about that ....

Our location is an actual hospital, more specifically an ICU room. Needless to say it's the most difficult location I've tried to secure. It looks like it's FINALLY going to happen (couldn't secure it in time for the 21st, as planned), but the exact date is still elusive due to the hospital staffing requirements that have to be on hand for us to be there, etc.

Unlike BERLIN, where if a location fell through I could quickly adapt the story & replace it with something different, I can't really do that here.

Also, with the script, I can't positively say we would even have it within 6 minutes, as it could easily go 7-8 minutes plus if paced well. So, if there's a solid chance that this would end up exhibition only, then this may even just get filmed EARLY November, depending on availability/scheduling ... though I'd prefer to get it in for the fest for the additional feedback, etc.

There's the update. I apologize for not getting this in before.

All cast & crew secured, except a small doctor role, which I've got two solid men to choose from ... just haven't been in a rush on that issue, due to the rest.

That sucks dude, does this mean you're out of the fest?
 
NORM. I had no idea you were in. Awesome dood.

Hey - check out Hudson's DISSONANCE. I think they faked a hospital or faked it in a podiatrists office or something.

So depending on what you need you can look for things other than an actual hospital, like pediatricians etc.

Once you get the steel gurney then you can mask anything else with some blue hospital screens.

Hey when was the last fest you were officially in? Mine was Spy - have we been in every one together?
 
Hi Jack, cool to see you're in this one! I can't wait to see it, but unfortunately this will be the ONE fest that we don't make it in together. Yes, we've been in every fest together, even SpyFest (I replaced BERLIN with last minute entry WITHOUT PROVOCATION, and had some fun with it to test/try things out).

This hospital room really has to be as close to an ICU as possible, and can't be faked very well with a typical clinic ... most specifically (I believe) because of the additional equipment that would be required in there.

Also, it's gotten too close to the deadline now, and the final weekend for me to shoot & still have time (next weekend), our lead actress is out of town for her anniversary.

Soooo, you add all that, with the fact that it'll be a solid 7-8 minute piece when properly paced out, it would have been exhibition only anyway.

It'll likely be shot beginning of November, and I'll have it wrapped up by Thanksgiving ... my goal at least.
