After a lot of head scratching and experimentation, it has become clear that the show needs a cold open to set up the whole bet. Originally, we met the boys their first week sleeping on the subway, but everyone we talk to wants to see the decision to “go homeless.” So I wrote a quick cold open that introduces us to the boys and Tim generously provided his apartment door for a location.

Today showed me what it would feel like if we were a real TV show. Friendly crew knows each other and has their rhythm down, fresh script delivered that week to everyone, great communication, brilliant work by all…painless. Today was a lot of pickups that have been bugging me in the editing room. But it helped that I was very specific about what was not working before that I needed in the new takes.

The winter season is inconvenient. I wish a bag of money had dropped out of the sky and let us shoot all this in the fall, but I have to let everyone break for the Holiday and come back in the new year for the remaining shots. WE ARE SO SO SO CLOSE. I know everyone is probably tired of hearing me say that, but seriously…20 scenes until Season 1 is wrapped! I swear if we get a second season, we will block out 2-3 weeks, get all the funding upfront and just shoot it all at once. But you live and learn…and keep in mind that a lot of webseries are only 6 or 7 episodes long…ours is 14! Who had two thumbs and is ridiculously overambitious? This guy!!!
