I want to begin casting right away. We have an amazing casting director with extensive experience casting real people on hold to manage both shoots.

I want to confirm that we're treating these shoots as separate productions. I think giving each one the space to be properly prepped is going to do wonders. I know there has probably been some clarity around that since we last spoke, but I wanted to triple-check.

I'd love to have time to prep both shoots while on location. Getting me there early so I have the chance to photoboard shots would be fantastic. It would also be great to leave me behind for a day or two with the DP so we can capture the school or the landscape of the town without our characters in frame, helping us paint a richer picture of the location.
