We were going to shoot yesterday and today, only there were scheduling problems. (That’s what happens when you’re not paying people – or in our case, only offering deferred pay.) So Jerry’s been editing the two scenes we shot (even though we’re going to re-shoot the interiors because the actor were tired). Today we have a training session for the fight scene. We have to shoot a wedding tomorrow. The Hooker Scene is Sunday. Our Stunt Coordinator called yesterday and said he needed a commercial video _right now_ because word got out to his competitors about the one he was planning; so we have to shoot and edit that Wednesday through Friday. Between the money-making business that’s intruding and the non-availability of actors on certain days the schedule is a mess. I’m guessing the film won’t be ready to be shown until late-Winter or early-Spring. It will be submitted then. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-does-imdb-work/321394.md?page=2)
