Added 2022-06-24 17:00:18 +0000 UTCI was supposed to have a shoot today, but one of the actors emailed this morning to say he was dropping out of the shoot for personal reasons.
This has happened maybe half a dozen times in the 100 or so films I've made, but it's always troubling for a shoot. There were two other actors I had to call early to tell them to stay home. One was on her way (she'll be compensated).
This is just a normal part of shooting. Low budget, big budget, doesn't matter. It happens. So, you take a step back and begin recasting the part.
