Got to sleep in today. Crew call wasn't until 7pm.

Scott met Patrick at 630am and helped him to return the Buick to its owners somewhere in the boondocks an hour or so from here. He got back in around 10am.

The four of us (myself, Scott, Chuck and Josh) headed out to Saguaro National Park after lunch. It was amazing. We drove the four mile loop that Patrick shot on the other day.

After our drive we went back to La Indita for some Mexican food. Patrick recommended the watermelon juice so we all had a glass. Very refreshing.

I dropped Scott off at Patrick's around 430 so the two of them could should some coverage back out in the desert.

Chuck and I did a little shopping for supplies and I found a new book - Screenplay Story Analysis by Asher Garfinkel. No clue if it's any good.

Tonight's work was split between two locations. We shot exteriors at the building we selected for the Sheriff's office and then we headed out to a dismal location behind the airport to shoot the scene with Shane (Nathan) and Freddy (Josh).

Everything went really well and we even got a little stunt driving action in. As usual, Josh was amazing.

We wrapped around 1130pm and got home at almost 1am.

We just completed the seventh day of shooting. We're over halfway.

Scott and I talked about the work so far on the way home. He is very impressed with ALL of the coverage we've gotten.

The dailies I've seen make me very happy. Dark, beautiful, perfect.

The music that Patrick has picked for the film is great. The Friends of Dean Martinez.

The performances have been wonderful. I really love the work of the local actors. In addition to the leads there is - Ted Parks, Brian McLaughlin, Melissa , Justin Kreinbrink - as well as the work of Josh Marcantel. Amazing.

Tomorrow Carol Anne will be strutting her stuff along with Howard Allen. Can't wait.

I have very high hopes for the film. I asked Patrick what it took to qualify for Cannes. He just laughed.
