CRISTINA ACOCELLA, Script Supervisor - What does a Script Supervisor do? It’s a great question and one I only partially knew the answer to before this movie. Their primary job is continuity, making sure that wardrobe and movements match scene to scene and day to day. Cristina did that, as much as I tried to ‘Ed Wood’ the movie, she kept me in check and on top of those details that, if wrong, can take the audience out of the movie. She also would feed lines if our cast needed them, and take notes for our editor and Post Supervisor. She also recorded the time of each take, etc. Basically she is the record keeper of the story!

So, OK, she did a great job. But she also became my emotional barometer. She would sit next to me at monitor, or stand next to me if we were in a tight location. After working each scene, I’d look over to her and ask, “Did we get it?” meaning, do we have enough to tell the story, or did I get all the shots I planned… I would also look to her to see if the tone and ‘feel’ of each scene was how I’d set out. I’d get so caught up in directing the performances that I’d need to step back to see the whole and Cristina made that possible. I loved her humor and attitude. I looked forward to seeing her each morning and was grateful to have her nearby throughout (wow, that got a little sentimental…) can’t wait to work with her again!

JAQUI BAXTER, Script Assistant - I’ve known Jaqui for a few years, having met her at school. I was amazed at her commitment and desire to learn. She has a bright future in filmmaking. She worked with Cristina, helping to stay on top of continuity, especially movement and wardrobe. She was one more familiar face on set that helped me create a comfort level that was great to work in. Keep your eyes on this one, she’s going places!

BRYCE CLARK, writer - The only time this guy came up was if we were on location when it was 115 degrees and we’d wonder why in the world the scene was taking place there and someone would ask, “Who wrote this?”
