Production Diary:
 
Filming started on Saturday 5th April in Pogel's
Wood (not kidding!) and went extremely well. 
Tom and Katy froze whilst we filmed their love
scene.  Emma AD'd, with Calum on Sound and
AK as the DoP.  Roo took to directing like a
duck to water and we finished early!
On Sunday 6th April filming started at the
Theatre Royal Margate, with Pete as the
Customer.  Then we had a break and some
Bacon sarnies and it was onto Herne Bay
Little Theatre, meeting Phil, who let us in.
After a slow start filming gathered pace and
we steadily got through the shots, taking a
break for dinner.  Ashley & Ryan arrived to
cook a curry and then we carried on, as the
pressure started to build in the last hour.
However due to the fantastic organisational
skills of Roo & Emma we were able to get all
the shoots we needed and finish only ten
minutes late.  After a quick photo session
everyone mucked in and got the Theatre
cleared and cars packed and we all said our
goodbyes and left.

I can easily say it was the most enjoyable
shoot I've every been involved in.  You were
all great, thank you for all your help &
support.
