Last night we tried to shoot a short film called The Dinner Party [Logline: An experimental film with six characters meeting for dinner, a dj (sound), a cook (taste), an aspiring filmmaker (sight), a porn starlet (feel), a purfume saleswomen (smell), and a spiritual guru saviour.]

The shoot quickly devolved into a home video after shooting the opening scene. Shooting without a clear script was the fundamental problem, which was greatly intensified by a strong desire working style differences amongst old friends and alcohol. Whatever. I knew shooting without a clear sense of the story NEVER works, so I don't know why I thought this might be different. This idea we had that "something interesting will happen," is one of the most stupidly arrogant things rookie, psuedo filmmakers do.

I'll be looking at the footage tomorrow to see if we can piece something together, but overall, it was a disappointing experience.
