Orpheus...

So, I've finished the first day of filming on Orpheus... Written and directed by Frankie Shine.

I found out on Saturday that Paul Burke, O-Captain-My-Captain of Whiplash, is playing the Orpheus to my Eurydice and the two of us had a big laugh about it. Then on Sunday, I got text from Aoibheann McCaul, with whom I did The Cooks, to say that she was also in it and she told me that another actress called Carla, who I'd just fight directed in the Tabs Theatre Company show last week, was in it as well. So that's three of the four actors that I worked with today that I knew... which was lovely and we all had a giggle amongst ourselves...

However, I'm wearing the dress from hell... very strange cut on the thing that at once manages to be very baggy around the waist and ridiculously tight around the bust... A lot of safety pinning was required to make it look semi-decent and even at that I can barely breathe... Apparently it was meant for Aoibheann and she couldn't even get the zip up completely and it made her 'chest' look even worse than mine does... Good thing I have long hair! It's not the best creation in the world, but it's a student film so what are ya gonna do?!?! Hell, I got pretty shoes to go with it so my girl side is satisfied!

I'm still gobsmacked over the whole 5 shorts in one month... It's like going from 0-60 in terms of show reel material in NO time! Can't wait to get all these bits in so I can start editing.

Enjoy xxx
