THE MAKING OF UNCLE LOUIE: entry 36



One of the greatest lessons we learned in making Uncle Louie is that you can’t count on anything. Life is rife with uncertainty and when making a movie expect uncertainty each and every day the sun rises. It’s just the way it is. Things never happen the way you want them to happen. The only way to prepare for this is to expect it. This way, you can always have contingency plans ready to go when something doesn’t work out. When uncertainly strikes, we also learned to let our anger and frustration roll over us rather than poison us. Hanging onto anger sours the production, impedes progress and wastes time. And money.
