Spirit 7
Following Donald Trumps Presidential win in 2016, a friend created a series where the US would no longer be a part of the G7 as it was felt he would alienate too many other countries. This was pre-produced and planned as a pilot (sales tool) to be shown in Cannes in the hopes of a series being greenlit. The creator, Sacha Puysségur, asked me to set up a shoot to bring his creation to life. He sent me the initial outlines which we turned into a script, and we had 4 days of pre-production as he only had two weeks before his trip to Cannes. I am truly blessed to know some very talented actors and we set up a day to film everything. The key to maximizing such a shoot is to not have too much distance between locations, and this was achieved by only using one, a large house in the hills around LA that provided all of the separate locations with the minimum of change. While one scene was being shot, the next was being set up. While we were filming the leaders meeting and the equipment scene, the actors were staging and rehearsing their fights ready to go. Kevin Indio Copeland, (Dwight Campbell) who played in the equipment scene opposite Francis Chen, had been in hospital after an accident that left him with an injured back, but he checked himself out of hospital just to be at the shoot, but naturally he was in no fit state to do the action scenes as was intended, but there was no way I was leaving him out.
