2/26 7pm - Ok, let me work on the last scene here where Dez & Naomi go to Chris' job with important news. This is a short scene, it shouldn't take long....

9pm - Shit, hold on I can't use that cuz the next shot doesn't match his posture, it'll look awkward. Oh, fuck you looked into the camera..Let me shave this down a lil then..thank God for different takes & angles..(Random thought) Damn, she did a nice job right there, she looks so sexy...

11pm - Wow, it's 11 already, I gotta hurry up and burn this DVD to submit tomorrow. I'm going down to Lafayette myself, fuck the mail..What am I gonna wear for the test screening? Oh, yeah I haven't worn that jacket yet. Maybe I'll go with that scarf and the matching glasses. What event am I gonna come up with next? (Random thought) Gotta do whatever's necessary to keep Buena Gente on people's minds. These guys did an incredible job. This movie is gonna make a huge statement. I need an agent. 

12:30 - Wonder how it's going at Red Lounge.. (flashback to Wed 2/25) "Yo, you aren't coming tonight?" "Nah, gotta finish the edit, I broke night Tuesday, you know I would be there, but regardless rock out." 

A moment later: "Hey Fabe, can you text me the address to the club?" "Tato"

2am - It's fuckin' 2am, I gotta hurry up, I'll probably break night again. 2am, anda el diablo, I forgot to put in that flashback, let me do that real quick.. (Random thought) Yo, people are gonna love this movie, fuck that shit... (Random thought) Look at that stack of movies I haven't even seen yet, but I'm making my own, though.

Ok, 94 minutes and that's without titles, the script has 93 pages, usually 1 script page=1 minute onscreen.

4am - (reality set in) Aw, man, I need a dual layer DVD to burn this. FUCK! I really wanted to turn this in early, I know it's a work in progress, but... Let me try something (moments later) ok, that's gonna take a while, lemme crash right here. (Random thought, watching Monster's Ball) Heath Ledger (R.I.P) was so talented.

6am (tired, a bit disappointed) That shit ain't working, well everything happens for a reason. I'll just be ready for the final deadline then. Lemme lay down for a while. Fuck it, I'm not gonna complain cuz I signed up for this..I'll get better at this with time.

HAPPY DOMINICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY
