Challenges and Progress

Making movies is a crazy journey. On "Words Unspoken," we're making great advances, but it hasn't been easy.  We certainly have encountered our fair share of challenges, but we have also experienced some amazing moments of teamwork and creativity.  

The actor's performances were greatly impacted by the script's read-through we had with them.  During the filmmaking process, we have been building upon that starting point.    For example, we've come across some challenging lighting conditions at our main location.  We worked with the actors so they could obstruct the lighting in certain scenes. Using the natural light to create the desired atmosphere, rather than merely trying to add artificial light.  It has forced us to be more resourceful and has been a true team effort.


(We made sure that Drey could block the lighting here)

Another ongoing cause for concern has been our camera battery.  We've learned quick charging was something we had to do after filming for a while, so we had to get the most of every minute of shooting time as the battery hardly lasted.    And the park scenario we were planning had to be postponed for the second day of filming. 

We're moving forward in spite of these obstacles.  The deep feelings of Riley writing the letter and those important interactions between Riley and Phoebe are among the scenes we've already filmed. We are really appreciative of our cast and crew's commitment and skill.
