Hi! finally more updates of my production. Everything is secured now! I managed to get the nine kids to film, secured all the actors and I am ready to shoot! Got all the costumes and props done. I had to buy costume for 14 people. But that the way it is.. I would hate to ask my contributors to after their costume plus if they can not get what I am looking for that would compromise the footage . I am exhausted by now.. I have been working in sets and props since 3 weeks ago, I am in a stage that I don't eat very well, I stopped my leisure and I badly sleep.. worried if the shoot will work out. I am happy with my research, all my props are authentic from the 50s. I managed to get two comics books from 1951 to add as props in the child bedroom, also there is a 5 seconds scene that the mother is preparing a birthday cake, I had to improvising a posh 50s kitchen for that scene. I got in pound shop a few fake tiles and putted over my kitchen surface and added a few props, such as famous magazines from the 50s, and a cake mixer that I borrowed from Niall's mum. The mixer is exactly the same as the one I found in my research. Research context in this film can not be better.
