We shot six cans of film at home over the past four days, and came away with some very exciting footage. I chose to focus on mom's therapy, on the texture of her skin and scars, and tried to get more candid moments on camera. I also composed some more stylized sequences and inserted myself more in the film. Mom did great and was a real trooper. Sinisa was here as DP and Joel came down for a couple days as our Gaffer. I'm hoping this is the last filming I'll have to do; I feel like the story of the doc has a good arc now - not to be confused with closure, but I feel like there's been a journey that I can turn into a decent 15-20 minute film.
