Letters to an Angel
Spent the weekend doing a film shoot and it absolutely destroyed me. Two solid days of filming just to get maybe five minutes of usable footage. That’s how it works though—you shoot a scene, shoot it again, the light’s changed so shoot it again, someone moves wrong, again. You’re doing the same thirty seconds over and over until everyone’s seen it a hundred times and it finally looks right. But there’s something about it. Working with a crew, everyone locked in on solving the same tiny problem, and after a few hours you stop noticing how tired you are. Your brain just shuts up and does the thing.
The working title was Briefe an einen Engel
—Letters to an Angel. It airs October 9 on Sat.1. Whether anyone watches it, whether it matters—I have no idea. But it exists now, and that’s something.
