It’s been a little over a week since we returned to LA and settled in after a long shoot in Nantucket.
Nantucket is a darling town full of quaintness and cobblestones, and has some spectacular beaches and good food. Apparently it’s a place for drinking and spending money, but most of my time was spent alternatively watching the kids and enforcing the law in this alternate reality.
It was just a delight to hang w/ the cast and crew on this little island - it all felt like camp (at least I imagine because I’ve never been). We all got our own room assignments, and because the island is so small you’re running into your coworkers on your day off, exchanging tips about where to get the best ice cream (some say Juice Bar, my kids say Jack and Charlie’s).
One of my favorite new things was precision driving an F150 around. When the AD tells me “you were 6 inches off the mark”, I instantly understand how precision the driving is. With the stunt coordinator Shauna whispering directions over an in-truck walkie, and with a pro tip from our truck driving teamster Jared (who has ripped off some impressive precision driving stunts), I was able to pull it off most of the time.
It was so much fun, and now that shooting is all finished, all we can do is wait for it all to cut together and be as enjoyable as the vision and people.
