INTERNS shoot With blistering speed, 5 Guys + 5 Gals Productions polished off a dandy of a
pilot shoot in two short days. Highlights included a room full of Bubble
Fun chewing hotties, Bob telling me that 'I was a pretty good DA, but it
would take some time before I got up to his level' and Sri flashing Kyle,
twice.

And the Oscar Goes To:

ANNAH, for securing our location and helping out with the building guys.

DAVID: (to building guy) Do I need to sign anything?
BUILDING GUY: Yes. Here.

(BUILDING GUY hands David a binder full of permission and insurance forms)

ANNAH: Do you need me to sign anything?
BUILDING GUY: This isn't my real job, you know.

And the Oscar Goes To:

MICHAEL, for getting up at 4 a.m. or something to make it to Saturday's
shoot.

MICHAEL: Boy, I'm tired. Are we done yet?
DAVID: No, we still have to shoot all the shots you're in, and everyone's
staying late to accommodate your schedule.
MIKE: Oh. (pause) Thanks, Luis.

And the Oscar Goes To:

KYLE, for bringing Netta.

KYLE: Can I see your boobs? I haven't been laid in a really long time.
SRI: Sure. (flashes him)
KYLE: I love you.
SRI: You should.

And the Oscar Goes To:

KATIE, for being with us despite a bout of Rheumatic Fever.

SHANNON: Katie, can you be in this scene?
KATIE: No - I can't act.
SHANNON: You can't act frustrated? You're a stage manager.
KATIE: Oh right.

And the Oscar Goes To:

BEN, for finding a place to buy a camo hat, on a Saturday, in six seconds
flat

DAVID: So, you'll be in a room full of hot chicks, taking pictures of them,
and they all want you.
BEN: Hmm. OK. I can do that.

And the Oscar Goes To:

LUIS, for putting up with the rest of us.

LUIS: Can I help out with THE INTERN shoot?
DAVID: I don't know. Do you have any sound equipment?
LUIS: (drives up in a Jeep filled with his stuff)
DAVID: Oh. (pause) Sweet.
BOB: You're much more laid back than Glen. And much more Mexican.

And the Oscar Goes To:

BROOKE, for doing a thousand little things I didn't see, and for throwing a
hell of a wrap party

BROOKE: I know it's last minute, but everyone's coming over tonight.
MICK: Cool.
BROOKE: We'll probably watch the dailies for six hours.
MICK: Cool.
BROOKE: And you have to cook hamburgers in the rain.
MICK: (long, long pause) Cool.

(Props to Mick for being such a great host.)

And the Oscar Goes To:

SHANNON, for co-writing, co-producing, and for talking me out of my
super-stupid 'white on white' production/costume design

DAVID: Sweetie? I'll be gone for two hours in the middle of everything on
Sunday.
SHANNON: Good.

Later,

DAVID: How'd it go?
SHANNON: Much smoother after you left.
LUIS: Much, much smoother.
BOB: You left?

And the Oscar Goes To:

BOB, for knocking the tampons out of Kyle's hands, PRECISELY onto the desk.

BOB: I'm a little worried.
DAVID: Why?
BOB: Now that I'm running the camera, this scene is going to look better
than everything you shot.
DAVID: I'll risk it.
BOB: (to all) OK PEOPLE - LET'S GO - TIME IS MONEY - WE'RE PUNCHING OUT.
SHANNON: In.
BOB: WE'RE PUNCHING IN. (to Shannon) What's that mean?

Good times, my friends. Next up will be 48HR, June 15 (Friday) to June 17
(Sunday). Look for an email soon about our pre-meeting. Until then.
