Heard from Sam yesterday. Next Saturday will probably work for him. He'll confirm Sunday. I can only hope. Few realize how much effort it takes to get all of the resources together for a shoot. Next weekend should be a wrap, though, and I can move on to post.

I scheduled a transfer session at Monaco for the end of next week. Meanwhile I need to settle the bill. This is really getting expensive. I'm fortunate to have the money without going too seriously into debt. Lots of people charge themselves to the brink of oblivion to finish a feature. I just need to relax and enjoy the process. It's still only costing about as much as a new car (albeit a pretty nice new car.) And if I had it (the car) I'd probably be all out of shape and depressed because I'd be driving all the time and wouldn't have had a chance to make my movie!

The future editors called me today. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow, maybe tonight. Meanwhile I need to:

• Call UC Theater re: Marquis
• Make arrangements for use of the picture car
• Get the Walkies back for this weekend
• Settle the bill with DTC re: lighting
• See about a portable light package, Kenos for the night car scenes
• Make cards for this weekend
• Get case for sound gear, soft case for camera
• Scout for this weekend
