We started our 18-day shoot of our Christmas comedy called "Nutmeg and Mistletoe."


I decided I would just hit the record button, usually at the end of each day, with my thoughts what was happening that day? What I learned, and generally what being on set for 12 hours a day is like.
It is quite unfiltered and unedited (with the occasional beep) - hope you enjoy being backstage!


In this episode: Preparing for night shoot for the Christmas tree lighting, drama, AJ (composer) visits set, rough assembly going to the wrong people, lunch at 5pm, self-care, suicide because of strikes which no one is talking about, movie announcement, timelapse on Instagram, adding our crew on Instagram, behind because of lines, 5D capture of sets, losing Santa's office set.
