Making a movie is hard work. Don’t let anybody tell you different. The work is long and repetitive and can get tedious when mistakes are made. When there is little money in the coffers, mistakes, miscues are more apt to occur. On Uncle Louie, we had our share of problems. On our second weekend of shooting, we dropped an entire day of work. A tiny glitch with the camera turned into a major beat down. In hindsight it proved better to redo the scenes, but it sure didn’t feel good when it happened.

My Italian temper reared its hoary head on more than one occasion. When we dropped shots, I came unglued. Somebody had to. It didn't matter how angry I became though, mistakes were still made and more shots were dropped. You get a tough skin after awhile.
