ITW day 3

Back at the Ford Ranch again. Brutally cold again. I'm familiar with this scenario.

We were continuing with scenes related to yesterday’s. I was a townsperson again.

They shifted to shooting “inside” the saloon. (The walls were really canvas, and it wasn’t much warmer than outside was.) They placed us around the saloon and then replaced us. Finally Michael (the Director) decided they needed a drunk to get up on the stage with a couple of the dancing girls and then to be dragged off the stage and out of the saloon by his wife. Well, I was chosen and got the part. Later I found out that Fidel Moreno had recommended me for it. Thank you, Fidel.

I think I did my drunk act really well. I'm eager to see what of it ends up in the film.

Later in the day I was a townsperson who was greeting some people coming off the train. I'll probably be seen in that scene, too.

After the shooting was wrapped for the day and I was standing in the wardrobe line to return my costume, I saw a woman who I thought was Glen Powell, Jr.’s mother. I knew she was there and her name from Antoinette. So, I said to her, “Are you Cindy?” She was, and we ended up talking for a while. Glen came up after a couple of minutes and joined the conversation. Nice people. They’re from Austin, TX, so I now know for certain that people outside L.A. can get speaking roles in films.

I'll have to call after today to see if they need me any more.
