When we last left off, the production of our short film, “Sunburn,” had capsized after being kicked out of our first location (not our fault!). In spite of our bad luck and thanks to the kindness of Sasha Eden, who plays one of the “Housewives” in a fictional show within our show, Day 2 offered shelter in her production studio, WET. We loaded in that very night, quiet as church mice, and prepped for the shoot. In hindsight, these things seem to happen for a reason. True, we did lose stunning views of the NYC harbor from 26 floors above the city, but we gained access to offices that actually resembled a working television network. The new “television network” brilliantly showcased the work of our first-rate production designer, Steven Grise. His mock-up posters for our fake show, titled The Manhattan Social Club, and our donated Emmys were better shown off in our new impromptu location. Most importantly, Sasha’s offices had a wrap around terrace, allowing our DP, Andres Karu, and our gaffer, John Gabriel, to blast light through the office windows. The resulting effect created a beautiful natural light—which kept with the “sunny” theme of “Sunburn.”
