Day of crowd scenes! What is it about Professional Film Crews? You’ll never mistake our people with actors and extras. Serious, professional demeanor? Mmmm. Slightly off center, goofy, childlike behavior, punctuated by manic bursts of poetic synchronicity. Yup.

Keep your eye on Anya Taylor Joy. I binged all 7 episodes of Queens Gambit on Netflix last night. Production values are very good. Well shot and well lit. Sure, there are things that I would change or adjust. But the acting...some moments of genuine brilliance.

Mr Rylon Bird with a rare shot of Cody Martin. Rare because this guy is all over the set in places you wouldnt think of. He works harder and smarter than any 2-3 keygrips in the business. And still has time to be a beautiful human being.
