We were very fortunate the owners of the restaurant Convivium Osteria in Park Slope let us come in for a few hours one morning before they opened to shoot a big, fancy dinner scene among one set of friends in the story. We were short on crew that day because of various conflicts so I shopped most of the set dressing myself, which is a rare occurrence at this point, and Alissa, my wife, and one of our producers, Sam Blye jumped in to do the actual dressing while I set up camera and lights. I dropped off the film to be processed on Friday last week and I'm dying to get it back and see how this one turned out. It felt very much like trying to arrange models for the Last Supper by Van Gogh, but with figures on the nearside of the table partially obstructing the frame, which made it quite the challenge.
