One week down and 5 to go! Amazing week. There have been some beautiful shots and great performances, but so very very hot. Up to 55 degrees in our hero car, which has made for some very challenging conditions. Cast and crew have been super troopers though and we’re right on schedule.
 
Our departments are gelling incredibly well, which is encouraging particularly because it was a tricky week of day night shoots and action stuff. To watch the individual departments working in sync was a real highlight. Gripping dept rigging car after car, camera dept swinging lens and switching cards, art dept dressing and propping everything within eyesight and wardrobe checking everything worn is looking just perfect. We have a super makeup team led by Nadia Cowell and I imagine keeping our actors looking relatively fresh in the sun isn’t easy. We have such a high spirited, talented bunch. 
 
Rachael Taylor and Alex Dimitriades have just been superb. Really thrown into the deep end from day 1, filming scenes on the road. Weather plays such a crucial role as we have a very tight shooting schedule and any unforeseen conditions can throw everything into disarray. We’re filming 4-5 pages of script PER DAY. We are all looking forward to the rest of our cast arriving in the next few weeks.
