The BTS photos are up on the Suspended page in the menu. Huge thank you to Brandy Fabian, makeup artist. Here’s the one shot I took of Brandy in action.
BTS Suspended
Suspended
We wrapped principal photography on Suspended this past Sunday. It was both thrilling and exhausting. While filming at the school on Saturday, the AC wasn’t working properly and the principals, 16 extras, and the hardy crew were cooking for hours on end. From that low, came the high of doing my first car scene, which was fraught with the usual difficulty, and then the most emotional scenes of the movie, probably inappropriately saved for last (due to location reasons, not my innate insanity).
Everyone did a fabulous job. I couldn’t have done it without a single one of them. My producer Leslie Ben Hamilton, who was always ready to jump in and tackle any task, my DP, Robert Matthews Wynne, who contributed many great ideas and herculean efforts in tiny spaces, my script supervisor Susan Henson, who saved me more than once, and my amazing actors, who surprised me every scene with their wonderful ideas, ability to turn on a dime, and sheer tenacity in the face of AC issues and overtime.
I was far too busy concentrating on the tasks at hand to take many BTS photos. My fabulous makeup artist, Brandy Fabian, took hundreds, but I don’t yet have access to them. So stay tuned for more!
