Forget what you're used to seeing...
Day 1 was frought with nervousness and excitement as we were let in by security to use the main lecture hall I spent many an hour in during my time in the film studies program at my alma mater: The University of Tulsa. The first scene shown chronologically in the movie’s timeline was the scene where Oliver (our protagonist) meets his wife-to-be, Julia in a classroom.
After seven months of pre-production, gear acquisition, screenplay revisions, and logistic wrangling, we yelled “Camera’s up! Quiet on the set! Action!” for the first time. It was a surreal moment as I thought, “Wait… this is actually going to be in the finished product…” Currently the first time we rolled is what’s sitting in the rough edit as the best of the takes, and I hope it stays in.
