Scene
Ext: A river in the middle of nowhere
At 20, Kelly is easily the youngest member of the crew, and the most gung-ho and cheery. When I ask her if she can move back further to get the shot, she trudges smiling into the water, wearing quite possibly the funkiest psychedelic boots I’ve ever seen. When I asked her if she could get lower for the shot, she kneels down into the water, careful not to splash the camera. She sat in the water for what seemed like eternity when we shot the scene, while minnows nibbled away at her legs. And she did it all without complaint. When she trudged out of the water, she did it with a grin.
In the past few months, she’s stayed awake until dawn shooting, after shooting all afternoon, been doused in blood for an impromptu stand in shot, helped clean a barn out, and lent a hand with wardrobe and props. The very definition of “a trooper”, and the production wouldn’t be the same without her.
She has a natural talent for photography, and can do a pan so steady, you’d swear it was a tripod shot. It’s hard not to be in a good mood when Kelly is around, and while her name will only appear in the credits for a few seconds, I wanted to give her some very well deserved recognition.
WOW! I just feel so incredibly lucky to have an opportunity like this, between the amazingly talented actors, the creative director, and the great story line, its all just been so much fun!! I wouldn’t trade any moment of my experience this far (even the long nights and fairly cold river water 🙂 ) So thank you for helping me add a little more pizazz to my obituary!! I just cant wait to see what happens next!
