One day down, 29 more to go .. over 6 weeks!

The first day of shooting THE WHOLE TRUTH was nothing short of fantastic.

The crew is the best, the actors are tops. Everyone is professional, skilled and dedicated. Wow.

I'm exhausted, but what a fantastic shoot. DP Paul Mailman and crew are getting splendid pictures and sound. Sean Patrick Flanery is going to blow everyone away with his performance. I'd say it's safe to say audiences will be shocked by Elisabeth Rohm's acting chops and huge range when they see her in action on the big screen.

We "made the day" (got everything we needed to shoot in the day) in time for us to spend at least part of the evening with our families - early call times mean early bed times.

We shot in rain and sunshine - fortunately there was no downpour. Clouds kept challenging our takes -- we were outside all day -- but we still did not have any bizarre number of takes; most were about two or three, and many are just one or two.

I had the time of my life, basking in all that marvelous talent, skill and hard work.
