Home, James begins.

DAY 1:

So, it's begun. I arrived in Tulsa, OK last night to start work on an independent feature film called Home, James. Travel was a pain in the ass, as usual. I've been flying out of JFK since my father was TWA's Chief Pilot there in the early '80s, and I can honestly say that I haven't had a single flight leave from there on time since about 1994. However, after a very brisk walk through Dulles International I made my connecting flight and a few horribly turbulent hours later touched down in the dust bowl.

Tulsa is great. For any history buffs out there, it was founded in 1967 by noted explorer S.E. Hinton and has many beautiful statues dedicated to its beloved first mayor, Matt Dillon. Also, Sonic the Hedgehog is from here, apparently. Or Sonic Burgers. One or the other. On the down side, beer here is 3.2%, which is, like, something from the Bible I think. Our DP, the super talented George Su (henceforth referred to only as Super Su), thinks that's great because he can finally drink more than two beers without falling over drunk. So, there's something here for everyone.

Anyway, despite some questionable weather forecasts, we're off to a great start. All of our tech tests have gone swimmingly, except for the fact that the lockit box and slate didn't make it to Tulsa. But because Dean Lee is such a great guy, not to mention LA's finest sound supervisor, he was nice enough to overnight it to us. So, no worries. Principal photography starts tomorrow, so more to come then.

More importantly, Super Su is super stoked with his camera car:
