what a weekend...

I think I underestimated the effort of making River in San Antonio, while living in Houston! 180 miles is a killer! ;( and with all the location scouting, i think i did about 600 odd miles in 2 days...

But the fun is worth it....it is awesome that we are actually attempting to pull it off in just one weekend! That means that we shoot all day saturday and all day sunday. Man, I am so not looking forward to that Monday...


It is now official. This is where we are shooting the poker scene:














A wine cellar was definitely not the first choice, but it just looked fabulous. The irony is that 'zinc' is the restaurant where I first narrated the script to Mari and Scott! ;)

The restaurant scene will be at the Oak Hills Tavern...easily the most hung-out place for Frost & Sullivan employees.....have had many memorable and forgettable nights there ;)...Daxton is meeting the rather 'cold sounding' owner today.

Most of the casting is finalized......but Federico continues to be a challenge. Have too many choices.....but I guess it is a good problem to have. Hopefully by Wednesday night, we should be all set!!
