8 more days to go!

The past 6 days have been exciting, crazy, stressful, exhausting, and fun. Though everything hasn't been perfect, when are things ever perfect on a film set, we have been able to get some great shots. Dormeshia is an amazing dancer and a great actress. Here are some stills from the production so far...

Production begins

We begin principal photography on The Rise and Fall of Miss Thang, on Tuesday July 18, 2006. Shooting will take place for 14 non stop days. Our lead actress, Dormeshia Sumbry Edwards, will be filming during the days and performing on stage every night in Imagine Tap. It's going to be a lot of work for everyone involved but hopefully we will have some fun too.
