During our 2nd week of shooting we were visited on set by NYT reporter Gia Kourlas, who wrote an amazing article about our project.  Béatrice de Géa took photos.   Our grandmothers were very proud.

Shooting continues.  We shot the 3rd movement of the ballet (Improvisations) at P.S. 146 in Brooklyn and finished up Statics over the weekend in Red Hook.

Week 1 making the 1st Jerome Robbins ballet movie since West Side Story.  We filmed in Coney Island, the Lower East Side, Bushwick, and portions of the 2nd movement “Statics” in an abandoned warehouse.

Our cast is made up entirely of dancers from New York City Ballet.  They work incredibly hard.   They also blog and make funny videos on set about baby wipes.

Camera operator Joe Anderson nails a helicopter shot.

Something bad also happened.  Early Tuesday morning Mel was driving me home from set and disaster struck.  I think my beloved Subaru of 10 years might be totaled (it’s worse than it looks).
